    I have to AGREE with you this modem is a peice of dirt. Go for something else.

    Im experience the same problem.Ive had the modem for about 8months now, and all of a sudden this happens, annoying!I find it if you pull the modem out of the usb port for a little while it'll work fine again, but its happeing too frequently now. Strongly advice to opt for some thing else, mines in the trash can now,where it belongs.

    Me too. I am running the old driver - pre XP, and am unable to install the new ones. I think the problem seemed to occur at a similar time as an XP hotfix or Service Pack 1 install. Used to work fine - doesn't anymore. I can't upload anything at all, whether in an email or FTP. Junked it, went to Computer Exchange and bought a BT Voyager 100 for £28. Fingers crossed. So far so good. I spent an hour on the phone to Microsoft to see if they could help but with no success, I also emailed Speedtouch and my ISP (F2S), no help. I am glad to be rid of it. I do agree with the person who said it slows the system down. As soon as I installed it the time taken to boot increased hugely, although this has not changed since installing BT Voyager 100.

    If it works - great. If it doesn't ditch it..

    I have the exact same problem as this. I am also using BT (BT Yahoo Internet) and with Win2K.
