I remember seeing the Telus Turbo thread suggesting the Thompson speedtouch modem, but I want to see if anyone else is dealing with the same problem as me, and possibly an alternative solution.
Basically, the modem likes to cut out. A lot. Like 8 times in 3 minutes a lot. Even as I wrote this it cut out four times. I'm not sure if its running hot because of the heat, its refurbished, and the quality is shit.
Anyone dealing with the Siemens and having it cut out on them? If it helps, I've got a wired Linksys router from my old high speed setup. If there aren't any other solutions, I might as well get the Thompson when my Turbo trial runs out. I've also tried turning the stupid thing off and on again, still doesn't work.
Thanks.
EDIT: Just wanted to add that when it cuts out, the DSL light goes out and then the Internet goes, and it slowly comes back to life sometime after a full minute. And I might add again, it cut out 54453547823 times in the last 10 minutes: (there used to be a bunch of crap here, but the cutting out is a summary). In short, this constant cutting out is pissing me off since it just keeps cutting out when I try to submit this edit.
