<description><![CDATA[anon posted : You don't have to use their modem!  Their modems have a proprietary firmware.  So that you can only use them with their service.  Use your zoom modem if it worked for the first 3 days.  I had a zoom dsl modem and it lasted about one week.  After that it just kept cycling the ip address from the dslam, and it couldn't maintain a connection.  The thing is if you get one of their modems they can help you trouble shoot it. They won't help you if you use a modem that's not supported by them.  One more thing, if you were getting good speed through a different service provider then it's not the modem or the wiring in your house.  With a few key strokes, on the computer on their end, they can control your access speed.  They control the speed!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[anon posted : just got att basic speed dsl 10 days ago.<br>used my zoom modem to connect for first 3 days, but att pushed me to get their supported modem so i did and installed it. i have kept the modem turned on since then, hoping it would 'learn' to go faster.<br>but speed has been slow since beginning.<br>after a few days i called att tech support and was told my line is "capped" at 384 kbps. he couldn't tell me why. he put in a report and referred me to their line maintainance department.  i spoke with them and they told me that the line was probably capped by their computers and to wait a week or so and see if speeds got faster.  <br>waited and speed is still slow.  averaging about 325 kbps download.<br>with my previous dsl supplier, dsl extreme, using the same phone lines, i averaged about 600 kbps download.<br>any suggestions?  thanks. ]]></description>
