  I have a Thomson SpeedTouch ST546, which I got in November 2007, for
5/0.8 megabits ADSL.  It's still running fine today at 7/1 megabits.
The only problem is Bell's Stinger remote, which only syncs at 856 kbits
up, netting only 700 kbits up on Speedtest.net.  But you can't blame
that on the modem.

  Pick it up, turn it over, and read the label<G>.
