ADSL Modems

Does anyone know if i get a better quality broadband connection swapping my BT Home Hub for my old Voyager 210? I read somewhere that there is a performance gain in the change.
 
Dont know about the home hub, but I got an approx 500K synch speed increase by going from Safecom (Ebuyer inhouse cheapo) to the Netgear DG834. Exactly same set up, just better chipset I guess.
 
i get better performance with netgear dg834g router than i ever did with thompson speedtouch 330 modem

I don't think so, may be u get more functionality like wifi access etc. if they give it to you for free just use it.
 
I've been an avid reader of ISPr since the middle of last year (yes -- I was caught up in the NetServices / V21 / BiscIT story !). I never thought I'd make a contribution until this thread has caught my interest.

I've never given any thought to choice of ADSL Modem/Router - and whether different ones would provide better sync rates on ADSLMax.

I'm a long way from my local exchange - my 3com router reports a download attenuation of 63 dB, with an SNR of around 9 dB (it can vary from 8 to 10). This gives me a sync rate that varies between about 1300 and 1500 kbps - which gives me an IP profile of 1000 kbps.

Although I'm more than happy with my 1 meg broadband (from my new ISP fast4) - given that V21 always said my line could never be better than 500k - is it likely that by changing my router to a different one (perhaps the Netgear mentioned in an earlier post), that I'd be able to increase my sync rate and maybe get to 1.5 meg ?
