Faulty Router Or Internet ?

[Soprono]

Hey Guys,

Okey small issue here, our ADSL line has been out since Thursday it's a Afrihost Business line, anyways I checked the line via the mobile app as well as on my client zone line came back with no problems and it said all was 100%

With no ADSL light or INTERNET light on the modem active I then called afrihost and they did a line reset for me...still nothing , I reset to default today and then tried the telkom guest account after to test that and no luck...

I then went back to afrihost and logged a call out, a Telkom guy came out to test and all was fine he said the modem might be the issue here?

Before I go in a buy a new one does this sound like a valid problem ? I'm just making sure as it would be the first time needed to replace it and I don't want to dish out if I don't have to....for if I have to I want a decent modem hehe

Buy a cheap test modem and see for youself. I highly recommend the Dlink DSL2500u, since it has the broadcom ADSL chip in it, making it stable as a rock. If the line can ADSL, the 2500u will connect.
