Does anyone know where to find a cheap ADSL splitter for use with TPG? It is ridiculously expensive in Big W at $30.

Pick one up from MSY for $3+ if you need it today.

Ah I forgot to mention that it will be used for ADSL 2+. Is there any actual difference between the ADSL filter and ADSL2+ filter?
Yes there is, an ADSL2 Filter will work for ADSL but an ADSL Filter may not work for ADSL2, in the long run you might be better getting a filter that is approved for adsl2
From the links in that page, the cheapest ADSL2+ filter is $16.93 from Warcom. Any chance I can get something cheaper than that?
Like maldrat said get one for $3 from MSY it will probably work fine if you find you have problems after you fit it worry about it then?
Thanks for all the tips, will try the cheap one first.
Do you require a Filter/Splitter for ADSL2+ if you aren't going to be connecting a landline phone?
Also, for ADSL2+ connecting to an Australian conventional 600 series socket is it better to use an adaptor and than a standard inline filter or buy something like http://www.c10.com.au/products/adsl-filters/adsl-filtersplit…
No you only need the filter/splitter if you want to have the modem AND a phone connected ;)
eBay? About a buck if you are willing to wait a week. More if you buy from a store in this country.
BTW, in case you were thinking that way, they are generic, no need to get "TPG" filters.
Edit: You could ask friends, neighbours, co-workers, Freecycle, etc. if someone can give you one. They last longer than the modems they come with so people accumulate them. Also another place to get one is your local PC shop. $30 is a ripoff.
