For months, I rented a DSL modem from Qwest. For the most part, it worked like a champ. It would occasionally lock up. However, that happened maybe once every 4-5 weeks. Not great, but it was tolerable.
I decided to stop renting and buy one.
The new modem is a serious piece of crap. It locks up every day. We have to proactively reboot the modem at least twice a day. Avoid Qwest’s M100 if at possible.
Later this weekend, I’m replacing the phone with a newer “advanced networking” dsl modem. Let’s hope this one works better...
