General Comments

The BT Voyager 105 is a top performing USB modem for ADSL internet users. Not only is it compatible for ADSL ISP's, but it is also compatible with AOL (which is very select when it comes to things like modems).
It also has good stats. For example, I have a connection speed of 512kbps. Well, my Rx(downsteam) is 2272kbps (2.3mbps) and my Tx (upstream) is 288kbps (0.3mbps). It's only the BT Voyager 105 that can give such outstanding statistics for an USB ADSL modem!
All this for a very cheap price. On average, it comes to just £25.00, including VAT and a 1 year guarantee!

    I just wanted to note that I made a couple of mistakes in my review:

    1.) The BT Voyager 105 USB ADSL Modem actually has a top speed of 2mbps, NOT 1MBPS.
    2.) My Rx (UPSTREAM) and Tx (DOWNSTREAM) are-
    >Rx=2272kbps (2.2mbps)
    >Tx=288bbps (0.28mbps)

    That's absolute rubbish that AOL are selective when it comes to anything, they are a poor provider with a rubbish technical backup, I spent 6 months proving this, and eventually they would switch off their help desks early when I started to ring them, as they could not answer my obvious questions. And all they could do is say the same old thing like what's your phone number, user name etc. They don't even keep a history of past problems. Some reference AOL are !!!!!!

    Of course AOL is choosy! They only reccomend BT Voyager modems, and only give support for 3 specific types of modem routers.

    Addmitedly, though, the Voyager modems are great for internet access, especially when you have a 2mbps download speed on ADSL. It would be better to have a wider selection of routers to get support on from AOL, but I guess I can't complain since they do support routers of the Netgear range.

    In defence of the Voyager 105, I too use one and it is a good modem, with good connection and transfer rate, which holds very steady.
