[ale] Better ISP?

[Richard Faulkner]

I've got two of those silver Motorola modems and both get hot.  I did
the same thing and I don't have much of a problem.  I don't recall
having drop-out issues.

AtNex sounds interesting...will have to see where their service area
is...........RinL

If you're talking about those small silver Motorola modems, it may sound
counter-intuitive but I have had far better luck with that model when
it's flipped upside-down.

I used that modem when I had At&t DSL, but it would keep dropping out
unless it was turned upside-down, with the vent facing up.
I think that's a poorly designed modem, the case is too small and there
is not adequite ventilation.

Using Atlantic Nexus these days with my own modem. AtNex has the best
customer service you can get, their CSRs ARE their engineers. I've had
better latency and throughput from Comcast, but the customer service
from AtNex makes up for it IMHO.
