I would make sure your DSL provider will let you switch modems. To keep the security level consistant, I have to use the Cisco that came with the serviice, the provider only has access to the bios,for speed settings and bios security patches.
You could also check out the 2wire Home Portal* modem on
http://www.2wire.com[there are other links there also], and
http://www.speedguide.net-has speed patches to optomize your connection [click patches on the left of the page]-and lots of info to go along with dslreports.
