Teksavvy modem reliability

[Bob Jonkman]

Modems do die.  I had a GVC modem supplied by Teksavvy, and although it
registered a DSL link it wouldn't reliably transfer data, if at all.  I
didn't believe the Teksavvy support guy that the modem was bad (I
thought it would either work or not work, but didn't think there was an
intermediate condition).  I bought a Thomson Speedtouch modem from Acme
Telephone, and that solved all my problems.

Thomson Speedtouch replacement: ZyXEL’s P-660R http://www.speedtouch.ca/
