Just before midnight.. seems odd the dsl light would go on during a weekend but i am happy ! 1536/672 @ 10.5/5. on a Westell 2100 a90-210030-04 Wonder if I should get a Zyxel 643 to boost my line up a few dbs...? and then maybe i will be able to sync at 1536/768 ? after loss and everything I am shooting for about 15 kilobytes more a sec by a modem switch. What does everyone think? Or maybe a different modem ? -- - MBK (AIM = illmbklli)

I've been trying to understand modem performance - good data under the same apples/apples conditions is rare. I also suspect a form of matching goes on - that is, certain brands (modem/DSLAMs) probably have their own "best" matchups. That said, we all have opinions and mine is that ZyXEL needed the Alcatel firmware update to come on par with the Westell 2100 series. In other words, you have a setup I'm not sure ZyXEL would match. If you do get some comparisons please let us know. If published numbers are an indication the first real leap is being done on the Westell 2200 series which is now coming out at some ISPs. I'd watch for it.
