Good place to buy cables, etc.?

I need a few Ethernet patch cables, an ADSL modem cable, and
a telephone socket doubler with a short trailing lead. (The
doubler I have at the moment has no lead, and will snag the
microfilter ... oh yes, I'll also need a microfilter!) :-)

Amazon (usually my first port of call) don't have all the
bits and pieces I need (except from a supplier who charges
£4.50 postage for each separate item, and doesn't combine
orders!).

Any other suggestions (Internet or bricks and mortar)?

Clarity for the filter (NTE2000 to go on the master socket- (dangle-filters
are unsightly, & largely rubbish especially on a marginal line) They also do
longer modem cables.

Toolstation / screwfix for the CAT5 patch cables and doubler?

(Of course, I meant to say that the doubler will snag the
modem cable, when both are plugged into the microfilter -
including the new socket faceplate, if I get one of those.)

I use http://www.netshop.co.uk/ - always good service - prices appear to be
competitive - carriage is from £3.95 (per order)
