Hi there,

I'm urgently looking for a retail store / dealer where I can get a VDSL modem. I'm not interested in what Telkom sells and cannot wait until next week either. Any ideas?

The modems I was looking at are:
Huawei HG659
Billion B-8800NXL
ZyXEL Dual Band Wireless AC/N VDSL/ADSL2+ VoIP Combo WAN Gigabit IAD Router

Thx
 
Matrix warehouse have ones now and then in the walk in stores
Phone a couple branches

Webafrica also ship Zyxels anywhere in SA for R100 (usually next day courier to JHB)
 
What VDSL modem has the best line charaterics? Basically the D-Link 2500U ADSL equavalent for VDSL?
 
The Telkom Pace ones can be had 2nd hand for about R750. I got myself one and it is working OK so far. I run it in bridge mode while my TotoLink AC1200 is my main router that created the connection.
 
Got a pace for free, only being used as a modem, got a mikrotik doing the pppoe and unifi ap's. So far so good.

Pace running a few CRC errors on the downstream at 40 Mbps. No line drops for over 48 hours.
 
The Pace has very good specs, like gigabit ethernet and dual USB, yet I don't trust it just yet. I'll keep it as modem/bridge until I feel brave.
