We recently upgraded to Broadband but Tiscali only sent us 2 ASDL Filters for the phones (we need 3). PC World are looking £15.99 for a Belkin one; surely someone here can help me find a cheaper alternative

    Try this eBay page for some much more reasonable ones, or Ebuyer (dont forget to select supersaver delivery). You should get two for under a fiver.

    Alternatively, to avoid all the hassles of having separate filters on all sockets, just filter at your master socket instead. You can get a filtered faceplate from http://www.adslnation.com/

    Not as cheap as buying separate filters probably, but a lot less hassle and MUCH better quality filtering!

    Many thanks thefirs. Ebuyer looked like an excellent choice - 2 for £4.32. I selected Supersaver delivery, only to be told that it was not possible to my address and a £15 shipping surcharge was applied! Grr.

    The filters I bought of ebay are working fine :)
  • I would say go the eBay route as well. Most of them are brand new and are the ones bundled with the broadband packages. As many people already have a modem then when they change providers and get a new one and new microfilters the keep the old one and sell the new on eBay.
