Which VDSL modem to buy?

[graemian]

Any recommendations? I know Telkom sell them at their stores, and Axxess sell these: https://www.axxess.co.za/dslmodems. Are there any other providers?

Thanks,
Graeme

I bought the Pace 921VNX from Telkom

Coming from a Netgear router, this thing is balls :/ I still haven't managed to find the QoS setting it mentions in the Benefits, or any sort of way to prioritise bandwidth for certain applications. So if my room mate is playing Dota or WoW or whatever and I fire up any YouTube video, then it's gg for his ping.

Thats strange I stream netflix HD and my housemate plays dota at the same time with no issues, I am using a 4mbps line .... Theres something wrong with your connection.

I am not a fan of the Zyxel routers axxess are selling. I have one and its software interface is terrible, it also insists on dishing out ipv6 addresses to your network even if you have another ipv4 dhcp server running already.

I am trying to get hold of this : NetGear DGND3800B Router N600 WLAN Gigabit Modem Router.

Supposedly supports VDSL.

Anyone know where I can get it locally ?

Hi There,
There are very few choices currently and there have been a few posts similar to this looking for advice.

Have you tried buying it on e-Bay?
