ADSL Modem upgrade question
Posted by John F Kappler on February 8th, 2004


This may seem like a silly question, but I'm trying to ensure I've got
all my ducks in a line.........

I'm planning a migration from a 500 to a 1000 (or even a 2000)
service.

Will the modem need to be chaned? (Its an Intel Anypoint USB)

TIA,

JohnK

Well, putting "intel anypoint" into google provides lots of hits. I suggest
you start there. However, be aware that Intel no longer support this
product.

Sorry, perhaps I should re-phrase the question....

If I have a DSL modem that works on a 500 service, do I need to change
it if I migrate to a 1000 or 2000 service?

I've looked on adslguide.org.uk and haven't found a definitive answer,
but I'm not sure if thats cos the answer is obviously No, or because I
haven't found any answer.....

Ancillary question: If I dont NEED to change is, should I consider
changing it cos some modems are better performers than others?

TIA

most ADSL modems are designed to cope with speeds up 8MB/s, so in theory are
more than capable of handling the fastest services available in the UK.

Answer to that is that many people who have switched from using USB to an
ethernet solution have reported higher thru put & a more stable
connection....
