[clug] [WANTED] ADSL modems

[Steve Walsh]

Darren

We're running a Linksys BEFRS41 on our Transact, the only complaing we have
is the (woeful) uplink speed. 128k uplink for a 1Mb service is a bit slim
(some VDSL implementations over in 'Merka have close to 700k uplink speeds
for a 1Mb connection). I won't start my rant about the Transact Upload
speeds right now, I'll save till people get a few beers into me. But apart
from that, we're happy with the connection.

If you want a price on the BEFRS41 (the Cisco/Linksys version, not the pure
Linksys version), email off list and I'll do what I can to help.

All the Best

re ADSL its not ADSL, i think it's VDSL or something.

they provide a modem if you get the i3 set top box, or else theres a
modem included in the Motorola set top box.

re. masquerading That would be a matter between you and your i.s.p.

ActewAGL is cheap, but at least once upon a time they had a (rather
interesting) clause to the effect that 'servers of all kinds' are
prohibited (which i can only assume to mean everything from an ssh
daemon to a freenet node).

As far as I've noticed none of the others have any problem with LANs and
such.

I went with velocity.  Very good so far.

Transact have a dedicated senate committees channel on their TV service
now...

WooHoo!

I suspect theres cheaper broadband around than Transact...

...but with the phone and TV and all, its a tricky comparison.

   -AA.
