    The modem is quite fast and very easy to setup. Unfortunately there is no driver available.

    I hate the BT Voyager 100 modem!

    Although there are better modems available, the BT Voyager 100 modem is really good, i have read alot of reviews and it seems alot of you are having problems due to your I.S.P being A.O.L, simple solution for you all is really quite obvious! Switch your I.S.P! Many people don't bother with A.O.L because of a lot of problems they have with them (exactlly like you are having) and because of real poor customer support and their high fees for ridiculous reasons. I have been with BT Broadband for qu ...

    The BT Voyager 100 Modem is compact and unobtrusive. However, the functionality of it leaves a lot to be desired.

    BT provide it free as part of their broadband service, although it would be a real cheek to ask users to pay for it.

    The main problem is that the modem uses a lot of power causing a drain on the computer. This in turn can cause a computer to hang.

    The only solution appears to be to re-boot the system.

    The modem also can have problems when used on an Apple Mac computer, as ...

    The BT Voyager 100 modem will be affected by any firewalls on your computer.. I had the McAfee personal firewall on my computer and discovered once activated that the bloody internet kept on switching approx every 5-10 mins. In situations like this its always best to eliminate programmes that affect the net 1 by 1. Luckily the McAfee firewall was the first programme eliminated and so the problem was solved!!

    I have used my BT Voyager 100 for over 18 months and have never had any problems. Only thing that has gone wrong is the microfilters, not the modem. I use an imac with system Os X.

    BT Voyager 100 - When upgrading from Gold Broadband to Platinum and using AOL 9.0, I found that the connection would shut down on its own after 5/10 mins. Contacted AOL help who were useless. After much searching, I found a download driver page for the modem (and other modems). Once I downloaded the updated drivers, so it seems, we've had no problems with our connection.

    Try AOL Keyword Broadband drivers.

    The only problem I have with the BT Voyager 100 is that it never connects at max speed it is always in the region of 230kps. I have AOL Gold that is the 512kbs one and it is making me mad, do I need a new modem our what so if any one knows how to get rid of the problem then please let me know.

    The BT Voyager 100 modem will not log on or if it does it gets chopped off after 300 seconds exactly. On 2 pc's running 98se and 2000nt pro (with nothing else on that one) AOL help have been no use at all! When it gets on line the test program shows the line is good quality. Bt have run tests and said the line is OK, no intermittant faults etc. HELP PLEASE!

    I am having exactly the same problem with my BT Voyager 100 Modem. Mine happens every time either I use the phone or the phone rings. Tried to cancel my AOL contact but was told I would have to pay £140 (Sterling) as I was tied into my contact. I tried the Sales of Good act shpeel but to no avail. I am thinking of taking AOL to court. Anyone else willing to join me?

    Read a number of reviews concerning been unable to shutdown the PC after using the Internet (AOL 9) with the BT Voyager 100 Modem. I have experienced the same problem which appears to be caused by opening or closing AOL Radio (or other AOL audio visual content) with a Norton Firewall that had ad blocking enabled.

    The solution? dont log into AOL radio until you have turned off add blocking. You can turn it on again once logged on and likewise when shutting doen the radio turn off add blockin ...

    Like Many of you my PC would hang after being on line with the BT Voyager 100 modem for a short while,
    The cause was using the onboard USB port which is limited to 500 ma current drain, this modem requires 512ma. The solution is to fit another USB board into a spare PCI slot. Belkin do a board that handle the current adequately and my PC hasn't stopped since fitting the replacement. The onboard ports can still be used for other devices.

    On the whole, the BT Voyager 100 modem works well with BT broadband, good speeds and download times, uploading not bad either, just can't get my windows xp pro to shut down after I disconnect!.

    We recently purchased Aol 8.0 with the free BT Voyager 100 USB ADSL Modem 576kb/s. I am also running Windows XP Proffesional. However it will often disconnect, not close down AOL of the web browser, the DSL light on the front will flash and i will get a notice from the start bar saying that the network cable is unplugged even though it is not, and 5 seconds later it will be connected again as if nothing had happened.
    CAN ANYONE OFFER ADVICE

    Having had trouble free usage from a Zoom DSL modem for almost a year, I signed up with BT for another account which included a free modem. I expected the same touble free surfing. I was bitterly disappointed. The BT Voyager 100 on XP disconnects after exactly 5 minutes. On Windows 2000, it can keep the connection, but often disconnects. The Zoom kept the connection for weeks at a time. What a load of JUNK!

    I've noticed lots of people have problems with AOL and the BT Voyager 100 modem, i've found a way to stop aol crashing everytime it shuts down, on the website i've listed below are some differnet drivers for the modem, this seems to stop AOL crashing, i still have to reinstall the drivers once a week, but it's easier if u use the little utility that is on the website.

    Best way to run it is, when the modem comes up as a fault device, unplug the modem, run the reg edit program, restart the comp ...

    First Off. I got this BT Voyager 100 modem as part of a package deal from AOL. It all arrived in a gucci wee box and the drivers and AOL 8 where installed with nary a hitch. It works well enough and i've had no problems other than that stated below.

    The lack of a fully functional driver that allows the USB ADSL modem operate to the capacity for which it was designed seems to me to be utterly ridiculous. However. After typing in a few queries over the net and the fortunate hit on one that refe ...

    I just got BT broadband 4 days ago and the BT Voyager 100 modem was included. I found it easy to install and it ran well untill I got a phone call. No sooner had I put the phone down I was disconnected and I was told the port had been disconected by the user. This happens every time I get a phone call. I have been in contact with Bt who are not sure what the problem is, some say it is my conection or the filters.

    Has anyone else had this problem?
