Calhoun, GA | Speed Touch Home & 6.0 Xtreme
I am moving to a neww house where 6.0 Xtreme is available. I currently have 3.0 service and am using a Speed Touch Home modem. Will this STH still be able to handle the 6.0 or do I need to change the modem I am using. |

| It will technically be able to handle the speed, but why? Why not get a newer modem with a built in PPP client, better chipset, and ADSL2+ capability. Call AT&T and see if you can qualify for a new modem for free. |

As FAQFixer says, grab a new modem if you can. Just don't toss the STH, it will make a great spare and/or help in troubleshooting any issues you may encounter. |

Call AT&T and see if you can qualify for a new modem for free. The PPP client doesn't bother me as I let the Linksys WRT54G wireless router handle that duty. But the ADSL2+ does interest me a great deal. I will call this either tonight or this weekend about the new modem.

When I moved from rocksolid 3.0 to 6.0 with my STH, things went downhill quickly. It was marginal and troublesome. Upgrading to a new modem worked wonders for me.
