Lol, stealing my photos...
If you're a Sympatico customer, you can get one installed for free IF you're having DSL problems that requires one to be installed, and have a tech come out that knows what he's doing and has one.
You can also get one installed if you're with a 3rd party provider, if you're willing to pay the $100 inside wire repair charge.
In both cases, you will probably need to already have a NID installed, otherwise an indoor POTS splitter will probably be used instead. These line protectors can be installed into older NIDs with a few simple modifications. |

| Hi AndrewsFM,
Yeah! The definition was good and it's not like
i tried to hide it, after all... Your photographs
were posted just right when i needed it most: i
only expected the telephone worker to change
missing fuses when i 1st called Bell; i thought
i was quite lucky to get this brand new piece of
HardWare installed in place of their old bakelite
connector box but now that i look at it closer it
seems the protector module is on my side for the
most part... Anyway, i've bought twisted cabling
and a pair of RJ-11 outlet boxes to implement my
own way of centralized filtering somewhat later. |

So you had a new style NID with a line kit with all orange switches just recently installed?
The part with the screw head is on the Bell side, and the switches and test jack will be on your side.
You can try asking, but unless the guy is a DSL tech, he's probably not familiar with or even has a module with the dedicated POTS splitter in his truck. |

| Hi again,
I'll take photographs of my own, eventually, but i'd
swear it's the very same item! At 1st he was on the
walkside when i told him he might want to bring some
NID with him since i had DSL. He prefered to climb
up the stairs simply to conclude that it didn't make
much sense to replace these old fuses while having the
proper HardWare handy. Well, almost proper since, as
i found out, he didn't carry the orange (3)/purple (1)
module in his official vehicule: he was qualified as
a voice-grade technician only, he said. We talked for
about half an hour and maybe even fourty-five minutes
so you can imagine i tried everything to get the DSL
protector/POTS-Splitter module installed. He called
one of his collegues asking about this "special" item
but it seems none of them had one and only his friend
actually seen one, a long time ago... Unless there's
a place where i can go to buy one of these modules i
doubt i'll ever have one installed since Bell did come
to my home, as i requested, and they went beyond their
obligation by taking the DSL matter into account (he
provided some clearance between their demarcation
box and the electrical panel over which he was going
to install it, directly on the main power conductors).
I guess he found me persuasive when i told him about
"noise" curves going wild at cooking hours... I'd bet
things would have been different if he had dealt, say,
with my old mother... |

said by Bicephale  :Anyone knows how to get the top one replaced by the bottom one (with a purple section)? Bicephale I must say thank you for making a full line in your post. It's not something I've seen you do before and it's quite refreshing. Please do it more often. |

I had one of these installed at a client's new residence, very nice.
If the box is broken you can remove it, its a few clips just tung it and it will come off.
If you want to run a wire directly to your modem just put two wires in (no need to strip them) the plastic "seat" then push it down it will crimp into the wire. |

| Hi TilHasBB,
Ha yes, now that you mention it he told me about
the punch-through connectors and insisted a few
times that i mustn't bother to remove insulation!
How convenient!!!

Yes, he's correct.
You do NOT strip the wire sheath before inserting them. |
