We actually run Netgear DG834G here at the moment, but it belongs to the
house, and since we have to move i scouted out that D-Link DSL-604T. The
DG834G has become *much more* (from 20-50 hours connection to more than
a hundred, etc.) stable since we updated the firmware - note that this
includes a fix for stable linux+dhcp.

Also commendable: http://www.adslnation.com/products/xf-1e.php

According to support at Eclipse.net.uk filters "wear out" and they range
from a few pounds in price and quality at ebuyers to more than a tenner
in high street. XF-1e is allegedly the best uk filter! :-)

Eclipse sell 2 mb/s broadband for £15 (with a limit, but nevertheless)

Yes, ebuyer is safe, so far .....
