Networks new ADSL modem?

Is there any other MODEMS that you can use with BT's ADSL cos the actel ones they give you are crap? got any idea an where to buy em neone?

 

take the adsl modem and throw it at the nearest bt workman you find

 

you can use dlink internal modems but if you have more than 1 computer it is better to get a ADSL router

Netgear
Efficient Networks EN 5861
D-Link DSL-504 or DSL-500
ZyXEL Prestige 645 ADSL Modems and Routers

it all depends what your going to use it for and how much your willing to spend they start form £80 and they go upto £280

the question is how much do you hate HATE the frog (alcatel USB MODEM)

 

Question time:

In NZ I got this ADSL internal PCI card. Description:

"Speedstream3020 ADSL Internal Modem"

Efficient Networks Inc.

Its got an RJ11 connector, and a whopping big green LED.

Line Code: DMT, FDM, ADSL
Line Rate: up to 640kbps upstream 6.1mbps downstream


As for serial numbers on the board:

ASSY 030-3520-001 REV 5.0

Anyone heard of this thing? I don't know anything about it - It wass given to me...

 

Mojo what did you what to know about it the link is below

I wanted to knwo if any has it and/or sues it with ADSL here - Its from NZ so I was unsure if it would work. But not XP compatible

 

Im not to sure but i dont see why it cant work over here your best bet would be to e-mail efficent UK .

 

try www.btofaq.net and www.adslguide.org for help on routers and modems that work with bto.

 

www.plus.net and www.nildram.co.uk both do self-install ADSL which saves money by getting you to do most of the work - you have to provide your own ADSL modem too.....

 

Hmm,,


Check out this link. It for a USB ADSL router that works with the BT Slug.

hey everyone thanks for your help that is all very good. Just what i needed. I think I may go with a router+modem when I get the cash. Hopefully I wont invalidate my contract with BT hahahahhaha

 

i have the dabs value one on order only £90 with built on router 4 100Mbps ports will let you know if its any good.

if it aint it's going back.

 

just £90 whats the product code?

I was gonna get the DSL-504 £170 on dabs.

 

you can't get it at the moment they have a problem getting them from the supplier.

i am getting the DSL-500 from insight (only place with them "in stock") hopefully on monday.

the 504 isn't out for a few more weeks and its pointless having 4 ports if its going straight into a smootwall, as mine will be.
