No. I'm having lots of issues with it.

Tsimo · Mar 24, 2011

i dont think that has a ADSL modem included.

That's the one I've got, it's brilliant. I've had it almost a year and never had a days problem with it. Wireless range is also much better than my old Airlive one.

Bear in mind though that the Ethernet ports use technology from just before ancient Greece's time, 100Mbps ports. I've got it hooked up to a gigabit switch though so I don't use them.

Be careful with it. It's a solid modem but it generally sacrifices synch speed for stability. My Belnkin synchs at 1.4 Meg tops, while my other modems synch at 3.3-6meg.

Elaborate... brands, models? It will bring a good closing point to the post and not end being a dud post. Will help in searches for others.

Many Thanks

Other ADSL modems = Netgear DGN2200, and my new D-Link 2500u

Get TP-Link R100 cheaper and better router and wireless. I have one at home.

Yep, go for the TPlinks or Dlinks if you want top quality modems for under R500

Ono'rach · Mar 25, 2011

My previous modem was a Belkin, it was ****e to be blunt.

I now have the above mentioned TP-Link, and its fantastic!

Go for that rather, its a better modem at a better price

AcidT · Mar 27, 2011

NO I would noy...

A friend of mine bought one and could not get it to work at all on his ADSL line.

He actually took it back to them yesterday and got a re-fund...What does that tell you??!!

rorz0r · Mar 27, 2011

Very happy with my tp link ultimate, especially for the price.

jxharding · Mar 27, 2011

Getting the tp-link for R499 ex vat
Thanks for advice !

ichigo · Mar 27, 2011

no problem you will like it

Shayd · Mar 27, 2011

Got the tp link one myself. I love it.

Mine hasn't given me a day of problems in about a year's time , always synchs at 4 Meg, every pc in my house connects via wifi so the slow Ethernet ports don't bother me.

I'm not saying this is the best to buy but mine works great.
