 Mouse Nightshirt's recommendation | |
Very good, and reliable
Decent for average speed broadband access
Causes severe instability on AMD processor systems utilising less than USB 2.0
The Alcatel Speed Touch USB modem came free with my ISP package, but is still reasonably cheap otherwise. An absolute breeze to install, and reliable with good support from the manufacturers.
However, on testing of various systems, this modem will cause regular freezing of many AMD processor systems if you are not using USB 2.0. So if you have an AMD system, with no USB 2.0 support, then either get a different modem or buy a USB 2.0 PCI card (not that expensive and useful anyway).
