Re: DSL Modem Recommendation

If you insist on getting the 678, you might want to check out getting the 677 instead. They are same modem with the exception that the 678 will do both CAP and DMT. The 677 is DMT only. Since the new Qwest 1.5 service is DMT, the 677 will function just like the 678. And they go for less on ebay.

I have seen a few posts that say that the 677 will not achieve full 1024 upload speed, whereas the 678 will. Just another point to consider.

Does anybody else have anything to say on this? I wouldn't like to achieve less speeds than I should, after all... I am trying to upgrade to a higher speed right now.

Also, since Qwest does not support the 677, firmware for it may be harder to find than the 678. This may be moot since both are end-of-life but you can never rule out the possibility of a release to address a major bug.
