TekSavvy has no techs. Those tech visits are Bell techs.<br>

Thomas said that the tech had to come to install a
splitter. If that's<br>
the case, then it's probably a cable Internet install.
That would mean<br>
Rogers tech, not a Bell techs. It's the same situation,
though.<br>

<br>
Actually, this is DSL and the splitter their referring to is
actually a<br>
DSL filter installed at the Demarcation point to to filter
out DSL on<br>
all the inside wiring.<br>

<br>
So, after the Demarcation point. From the NID you'll typically
have a single wire per phone line coming into the home.
Somewhere between where the rest of the home splits off from
that connection and the NID is where the splitter will be
inserted.<br>

Additional, it's not actually Bell Technicians doing this
work. Bell's<br>
Techs handle bringing the DSL to the Demarcation Point. In
most homes<br>
his is the little grey box outside called the NID (Network
Interface<br>
Device). The Techs that come inside to handle and inside
wiring and the<br>
installations of these DSL Filters/Splitters is a Third
Party Company<br>
that Bell Contracts for this specific work. As far as I know
the only<br>
use them for the Wholesale ISPs like TekSavvy.<br>
