Re: Bell sucks!

I will consider that.

Where can I buy a POTS splitter and would it be possible to do this without having to buy a punch down tool?

I would prefer not having to buy one as it would save me money and all I would have to buy is another wall plate, cat3, cat5 and a splitter. If I have to, I have to.

Edit: Would it be worth the price difference? I'm pretty sure I could avoid buying a punch down tool with these and all I would need is cat5. This would act as a master filter as well, correct?

Search the forums. AFAIK TekSavvy sells them but I do not know the price. You can also get them on eBay, e.g. PS-15S Wall-mount POTS Splitter or Westell External Pots Splitter Model A90-32RTPSGNA1 (they say they ship only to the US but you might e-mail them and ask about Canada.)

would it be possible to do this without having to buy a punch down tool?
Yes. I use either the corner of a credit card or a small, flat-bladed jeweller's screwdriver.

I got one with the Cat5E plugs I bought at Rona, small plastic thing, works wonders.

ditto. I got a 5pack of keystones for RJ-45 and the punch down tool was included.

I did buy some of my keystones @ Nedco, but those didn't include the punch down tool. They were slightly cheaper, probably due to not having the tool.
