Title: Best Broadband Modem
Post by: cid. on August 02, 2004, 11:56

I hope to get Broadband within the next few weeks as at last its coming to my area. ;D I wanted to find out which would be the best modem to get, especially for online line gaming. I want a modem which will give me a low ping and is v.realiable. Also where i could buy it from as well would be usefull. But not too expensive either.

Unless you particularly want to buy one separately, you might find the one which comes with the broadband  ISP you choose, is perfectly adequate.  Have a look at www.pipex.net.  They do a good start up package, where the modem is free, and there are no set up costs.  They currently do 1Mb packages, for a little more than BT charge, but you haven't got the additional set up costs, and the service is uncapped, unlike BT.
