On PacBell DSL others gave me problems, this one once I optimized it for performance on a download speed side, is very reliable, and SBC technicians always recommend to stick with it over others.
I have used the Speed Touch modem on my PacBell account for 4 1/2 years, the first modem failed after the first year (took too long to "sync" the line), only because it was the first model, I got a new for free under warranty. If this one fails, I get another one for free, because my employer, Thomson, now owns Alcatel!
