[Liverpool] broadband and modems

[masakad0]

I don't know if this topic is still live but I have used Zen quite a lot for business and home and I have never had a gripe with them, no free modem but as discovered the free equipment is exactly what you paid for ;(  Personally I would opt for Zen then a Linksys wireless ADSL router or SDSL if you plan to host.

O/T:Does anyone in the group use Asterisk as I have big plans but very little hands-on with this distro..

Thanks guys

My Mum used it, they were awful. She has switched to Eclipse for about
the same price and much better service. All the "free" modems that ISPs 
provide are low quality USB models, otherwise they wouldn't be able to
give them away. They can be persuaded to work on Linux, but they never
work well, on any OS. Do yourself a favour and spend £25 on a decent
 ethernet modem/router, like this one
