ADSL modem surge/lightning/whatever protector

[Toxin]

I need one. Suggestions? I know Telkom sells one but is there a difference between their one and say one from Game?

Is there one that really stands out from the rest?

Clearline - There is nothing better on the market or remotely close to it. I talk out of experience. I can give you more info if required but they are def. the best.

That'll do PearlJam........ that'll do.

And it looks like I've got a few stockists close to me too.

Thanx.

Does anyone know if the Clearline units work with ADSL lines?
I just bought one (4 plugs + modem line protection) and the box says "Data speed: 100kbits/sec" on the side.

I don't want to break the packaging to find out - I'd rather return it.

LOL, yes the box does say that, but my ADSL line was working properly through the Clearline tel line module - that is before Telkodemonopolies struck and took away my ADSL .

Dunno how effective the Clearline thing will be with a direct strike via the old Telkodemonopolies line, I'm still sceptical considering the frequency and ferociousness of the lightning strikes in my area...

If your phone line is struck I wonder if it'd only take out the router or all the PCs connected to the LAN too, that'd be bad!

Ok cool.

I unplug when the lightning starts to get close but I lost a Billion 5102 last week from a strike that was about 1km away - I'm in a rural area and most of the telephone line is above ground so it picks up a heck of a lot of static.
Just a nice loud click followed by thunder about 3 seconds later and then 5 days without an Internet connection because everyone was sold out or closed over the festive season.

The R15000 connected equipment warranty tells me that the manufacturers are not making junk so it'll probably stop the type of spike that killed my last modem.

Looks like most of the Clearline stockists are out of stock - I got the last unit at a Game outlet - not even Incredible Corruption had any stock left.
