CylonRed Premium,MVM join:2000-07-06 Bloom County	So - what is the opinion of the Broadxent modem? I got this to replace my SpeedStream 5260 modem (a flashed 5660 modem) which has had some recent issues but been good for the 7-8 years I have had it. I notice it is a Creative product which makes me instantly dislike it but... -- Brian Free health care is 100% a misnomer - it is not free and never will be free.

curmudge1 @columbia.edu	Worked well for me. Had some issues with my line using the Speedstream 5260 SE sent me originally. Got a Verizon Broadxent from Ebay & things have been fine, margins were a bit better. Of course, YMMV. Compared to the Telco DSL services, I think it was pretty cool that Speakeasy tech support helped me with setup, after I explained what I was doing. I can only imagine what Verizon tech support would say if said I was trying to set up a DSL modem that I got via Ebay. Hope it works well for you. -- Dave

curmudge1 @columbia.edu	reply to CylonRed Oops, my bad memory! It't the Westell modem, not Broadxent that I have. Sorry. -- Dave

This one is only a few months old. I got it when I upgraded to an ADSL2+ 3.0/768 line. I'm probably going to replace it in a few weeks with a Sangoma card in a Linux router/bridge.

PhillyCafeRacer @speakeasy.net	reply to CylonRed Mine was great for the first year or so. Then I got a PS3 and put it on the same network. I have to reset the thing every 2-3 hours.

kmontoya join:2003-12-22 Covina, CA	reply to CylonRed I've been through three of them in the past 4 years. Not a good track record, considering I've had to pay for two of them myself.

NgtFlyer join:2000-07-09 Marietta, GA Reviews: ·Speakeasy	reply to CylonRed My original modem was a Zyxel 645M. Worked fine for some 3 years until after a bad lightning storm I noticed it locked up. Resetting it wouldn't bring it back so I assumed it took a hit through the phone line. Then I switched to a Broadxent. The one I had lasted about a year and died quietly during the night one night. I ended up reconfiguring an old Westell 6100 series modem that was originally from Bellsouth. That one has worked great since I put it into service about 2 years ago. I haven't had to reset it once.
