I got a Copper Jet ADSL modem for PC World for £40 with a 3 yr t. It hasn't ley me down yet!!!

I need an isp with rdns, good customer support, and multiple ips. full mail/news server too.

BT modem is 30 quid at the moment, free connection and free first month

im sure the usb ones are going to be better, and for over heating, whats going to be hotter, inside your computer (where lots of hot air is being pushed into atm unless you have watercooler/freezer attached to the back) or in the open air of your office?

will stick with me USB then as the current one is USB

just need something I can rely on & that isn't prone to overheating when heavily used (like all the time)

paulw I think its more of a matter of dual cpus+usb+adsl modem which made things go nutty. I wouldnt bother with a internal PCI one cause they are jsut alot of bother, I'd either go usb or ethernet.

mines shite I need a new modem!!

Unsure should I get a USB one or an internal PCI one...

Is going in a Dual CPU machine (and before you say ADSL wont work with Dual CPU's, well it DOES!!)

you can buy ADSL routers for about £35 with a 4 port hub built in IIRC, look at www.ebuyer.com (nothing to do with ebay) And munch, the backup dialup from BT is pay per minute, so if it ever does go down, remember its not free!

mien was meant to be £50 from virgin...so i went on ebay and got the same 1 brand new in a sealed box this morning!!

oh yeh buy ure modem from ebay! mine was £29!!

bout 3 months mate....mine goes live either 2morrow or next week lol....aint been told for defo by BT yet

heh i got like 2-3 more people to signup in my area and then we get broadband, any idea how many months it takes these days for the convert?

ok fella lol thanks! bring on broadband!!! sooty can u find out when my area goes active? its Maghull L31 in Liverpool

yeah some adsl companies they give you a backup dialup account when adsl goes tits up, you will need a normal modem to use it, not the adsl one.

didnt think so lol....wats it mean by backup dial up then....?do i just put me normal modem bak in if the broadband service goes down?

that means no. :)

dont be fuckin stupid

just got a adsl modem today for when i get broadband in my area.can i use this as a 56k modem as well?if yes how?!
