I talked to my cable TV repairmen recently, whom claimed this modem is on its last legs. It is about 3 years old. He claimed they are making modems cheaper and with less longevity than years ago and my modem life is about average, I rated it slightly higher than average reliability since it hads not failed yet. The speed is nothing to right home to mother about. It has done a servicea...

Just last month, I went through a debachle with my internet service provider, AT&T.  When we got their DSL service about a year and a half ago, they sent us a Siemens Speedstream 4100 modem.  It worked "OK" for most of its life, then after about a year and four months, it started acting up.  I wouldn't load any web pages until it was re-booted.  It was slow...

This DSL modem/router was provided by Digitel when I applied my DSL connection with them almost two years now. Based on my experience, I did not encounter any technical downloops so far, in using this modem. My internet connection is up most of the time so this modem was plugged-in 24/7 except of course when my ISP is down, but that was very rare. Prolink ADSL modem supports up to 24 Mbps downl...

This Gateway is an overall great investment. It does what you need it to, with minor let downs.  Speed 3.8Speed got a 3.8 for a couple reasons. First of all, The router only does 54mp/s. This is a little bit lower than wi-fi standards today. The  Gateway gets both Wireless Standards, B and G. It's lack of Standard N makes it a little bit slower. Also, this gateway, although having...

When I first moved into my house I decided to go with AT&T DSL. It was cheaper than cable and I figured for as much downloading as I do it would do. I was right. I had no problems with this modem, downloaded music with ease and connected to any site I wanted pretty fast.I then got an offer from Comcast and switched over to cable. Well long stroy short that was a mistake. Their cable interne...

The booming of HSDPA USB modems gets positive response from computer users. As a result, this matter has triggered a great selling of the product itself. One of the biggest companies that produce this kind of modem is Huawei Corporation, which is based in China. Huawei Corporation produces so many kinds of USB modems, including Huawei E220, which is my best choice to buy. I bought this modem la...

I have 2 modems at home, one is used and the other one kept as spare as the lightning simply loves to visit me and struck out my modem . I really hate it when the lightning struck on weekend or public holiday making me a cyber handicapped person. The present modem I am using is Billion. Frankly speaking, I am not so fussy about brand name for modem. The most important thing is sp...

I have my HiSpeed internet DSL connection through Rogers Cable. I pay a monthly rental of $4.95 for the modem that also includes servicing and relpacement, if needed. A great thing about this modem is that it is very small in size. In comparison it is about half the size of a Linksys wired modem. Which is great because it doesn't take up a lot of room. It is black in colour with green statu...

This modem is used by my wife. When I am at another town, she communicates with me using this modem. We went to one of the computer shop at Nagoya Hill looking for HSDPA modem. The reason that I bought this modem is because HADPA network is very booming at that time, until now. All cellular operators in Indonesia provide internet service with HSDPA speed at maximum, which means users can access...

I have availed of a broadband subscription from the 3rd largest mobile communications company in the Philippines - Sun Cellular. The subscription comes with a plug-and-play modem, Huawei E1550, colored white. Its like a memory stick, only its basically used to surf the internet. What's cool with it is that it has one of the Most Advanced Mobile Broadband Internet technology. Utilizing 3.5...

When we bought our 3rd computer I realized that wireless was the way to go. At&t offered a fantastic deal on a new wireless modem and upgraded our internet speed as well. We received the set up kit in less than 4 days and it was very easily set up. We truly enjoy the freedom wireless internet gives us and the Westell VersaLink Modem has given us 3 years of fantastic service. It is incredibl...

I first got this modem about five years ago when I signed up for dsl with At&t, and this came free with the signup. It has worked pretty much perfectly the whole time I've used it. We get dsl pro and recieve somewhat near the 3.0mbps advertised. I love this modem, however I do not love At&t...somehow their routers always end up making a 'mistake' and set my speed to 1.5mbps ...

There are many internet service providers here in India but almost all are very costly. I have recently bought this modem to use it for my dial up connection. Actually I didn't have a choice as I was handed this modem/phone when I paid Rs. 3000 or about $70.The company claims that this is a very good modem with great speeds. The service provider also claimed many things such as 230 kbps con...

The Motorola Surfboard Cable Modem is excellent!  I like that the Motorola Surfboard Cable Modem stands upright and is compact. It doesn't take up a lot of space to be able to use it.  This is a huge plus considering how much equipment I have setting around my desk.On the front edge where it stands up, the Motorola Surfboard Cable Modem  has lights for power, receive, send, o...

Before using Sun Cellular's Easy Broadband plan, I was using Smart Bro Prepaid Wireless Broadband. I tried using it firstly because this is a product of one of the country's leading telecommunications companies. Definitely I had to try this one. Just like my Sun Broadband, it gave me the plug-and-play convenience to surf the internet. That time it was worth around $50 but now I think it ...

The Actiontec Datalink 56K V.90 modem is still a viable option where wireless or other access simply is not available.A few years ago my old laptop died.  I didn’t have enough money to replace it with a good one, but I HAD to have portable word processing capability, and internet access in locations where dial-up was going to be the only option.  The laptop I got was, well, func...

I do a lot of traveling, and I usually bring my laptop with me. Because some places don't have Wi-Fi or don't have free Wi-Fi, it's really convenient to have something to get you online quickly and easily. Most airports have plenty of Wi-Fi hotspots, but nearly all of them require costly subscriptions or fees that just aren't worth it, especially if you don't visit the airpo...

I purchased my Netopia DSL Modem through my phone company.Although the apperance is nice in a sleek dark blue and grey cover,I have been really dissapointed with this.First off the main complaint is even though I have the ethernet wire connected to my computer here in the office I am still picking up someone elses service.I stay connected to NetGear at 100 % every day. I have contacted my provi...

I purchased my SB5101 a while back to avoid paying the modem rental fee from my service provider. Setting it up was a snap, just unplugged the rented modem and plugged my new one in. Gave my ISP a call and they set it up right then. My new SB5101 was just as fast as my old modem, if not faster, and much more reliable. My old modem used to freeze and get very slow if i had too many connections o...

Would you believe there are still places in the US that you cannot receive high-speed Internet service?  Even satellite Internet service is a struggle due to various issues Thankfully, you can still use a modem to access the Web.  OH MY AT ONLY 28,800 AGGGGGGGH!  For those of you that remember a few years back people everywhere were ecstatic that dial-up speeds increased from 960...
