Have to agree with Veronica Williams [Posted on 2007-03-18]
This DSL modem is a piece of junk. Not exactly sure what the problem with this thing is, but it has to be cold booted (unplug it, wait 15 seconds, plug it in again) every morning if I want to retain the through-put I'm paying for.

If you own one of these things you can see for yourself how bad it is by running a speed test at the DSL Reports website before doing a cold boot and after doing a cold boot. In my case the download speed *DOUBLES* after a reboot.

junk is not the word for this.  [Posted on 2007-04-21]
run from this product. i got this modem when i had verizon dsl and when i switched to dsl extreme. i know.. i know... what do you expect for free. well at the very minimum i expect it to at least work. i makes a better frisbee than a modem.

If your phone company has updated the lines from analog then this will work. I used it for five years very happily. But when we moved to central Utah we found that they have not updated the lines for dsl.

No Problems With Ours [Posted on 2007-06-07]
I see alot of one star reviews so I thought I would write about our experience. We moved over 3 years ago to a new area and had to select a new DSL provider...this is how we got this modem in the first place. We have used it ever since then and it has been great. We leave it on 24/7 and actually use it in conjunction with a linksys router. Maybe about 3 times in these past few years I've had to restart the modem. If the Internet gets sluggish and a computer reboot doesn't help, I would turn off everything (router/modem/computer) and turn it back on and everything would be fine again. That has been only a few times though. Anyway, we've had a great experience with ours. Hope this helps!

This is a piece of Junk!!!! [Posted on 2007-08-03]
I have one given by Bellsouth. It drops whenever there is a thunderstorm or rain. Bellsouth (AT&T) is replacing it with the Westell 327W and were quick to do it for free. Tech said it is a problem.
