Re: Best DSL modem
Ok...criticisms accepted.
But I still believe that a "one brand fits all" approach will eventually leave some customers very happy, while others less so.
How about instead of basing my suggestion on distance from the CO, I use line condition quality for modem choice, for example:
W brand modem works best with an excellent line.
X brand modem works best with a good line.
Y brand modem works best with a marginal line.
Z brand modem works best with a poor line.
I am sure ISPs have this kind of statistics.
Will this approach work to cater to the customers vis-à-vis their modem choice based on their line condition?
DKS, you even said that the 2wire modem doesn't work as well for you as the ST5x6v6, I can understand that different modems behave differently even on the same line, and for your case, the ST5x6v6 works best. But if your ISP had the "one brand fits all" approach and sells you a 2wire modem, would you be satisfied? |

Given the lack of availability of DSL modems in my community, I'd be quite content with what the ISP provides. But as I'm aware of options, I know differently.
