Re: What's going on with Telus ADSL in BC? 3COM. The only good purpose for these robust modems of yesterday is to use them to as door stops today. I would lean to believe you have a failing modem as those items are quite old and lately have been failing after 10+ years of service. I would also be curious as to the type of port you are installed on (DMT1or2, or ADSL2+) as this could be a combination problem. If you want to change to a new Thomson Modem, I would call 310-tech, explain you have a router that you want to continue to use, and insist on a Thomson Modem [unfortunately you have to sweet talk your way into one]). If you run into problems after trying this, you could PM your number to me and will get one of the team members to ship it to you.

| No, it's not a failing modem. I have two of the 3Coms, as well as a Thomson and a Zoom (from Uniserve) that I can borrow. I know you folks who believe newer is better have a hard time with this, but the 3Com consistently does the best if operating within its speed limit. 
Don't know the port type. It was on 1.5 Mbps service for years, switched to "3 Mbps" last year. |

kudos:4 | Humor me. Lets see the speed test results with the Thomson vs. 3Com. I would also, to check your port for compatibility issues. If you don't mind, PM me your number or Billing Account number.
