DSL
I received some e-mail regarding DSL today, the Speedstream 4060 USB Port
DSL modem has been found to be unreliable and so they are now recommending the
Speedstream 5660 for all platforms for the "consumer" class ADSL services.
The other thing worth noting is that the ADSL speeds are "best effort",
the technology being used is adaptive and so noise in the line will reduce the
speed rather than prevent communications altogether. This isn't documented in
the web page because I was unaware of it until now, it will be shortly.
