Hmm.. not sure if this would go in any other section, but ah well
Friend had a Toshiba DSL modem and found out that when it got warm, his speeds decreased quite a bit. Since we buy them, instead of renting here, he cut a hole into the modem(bottom), and AS epoxied a decently sized heatsink onto the main processor chip. Can easily tell which one, as it gets pretty damn warm.
His speeds have been a lot better ever since.
I was going to try this on mine, but dropped DSL for Roadrunner cable. Mine did get pretty hot though.
