personally, i would kill 2 birds with one stone... simply call up your isp and ask them what type of service they have and also ask them what modems they have on their approved list. pretty much every isp has an approved list of modems and such that are known to be compatabile (also non-hackable for faster downloads, etc). this should help you out in finding a modem quite a bit and possibly save you a headache later...

yea well bellsouth is being retarded about thier modems. they are like we only have westell and thats all im going to tell you. any modem will work, but we don't have an apporved list and the only modem we have is westell. and btw its 150 dollars.... and thats all they tell me.

wow, that's pretty lame and user-unfriendly... is this isp for profit? if so, it sounds as if they need to work on their people skills and get their people knowing a bit more... it's not like you're asking some ridiculous question that is next to impossible to answer...

ok well i know about these "Efficient 3060
Efficient 4060
Alcatel USB
Alcatel Speedtouch Home "
the alcatels are no longer sold, i have the sppedtouch usb which uses usb and doesn't support ethernet.... so i can't get a router... which is why im so ****ed, cause i need a router to install linux (don't ask, long story, if you really want to know ask me later
) the i haven't even heard of efficients, but none of the people i have called have even mentioned taht.
i have called so many times its rediculous. once i got a guy that knew what he was talking about, and he told me that most modems would work, but when i asked about which brands are supported, he was like well tahts out of my knkowledge i only know about westell. then i called again yeserday and the lady had no idea what was going on. i could hear her tying in the quesion on her computer (you know the database they get to search for answers on?) anyway she told me i could get the modem for free but only from westell cause thats all bellsouth deals with. then after ordering, she calls back and says the rebate is over and now it costs 150... so taht order didn't work out either. so now im in search for a modem that will work with bellsouth, but preferably not westell, unless its a last resort
