| 293410 | 2004-11-18 01:40:00 | I would guess its because people have paid for the service and are willing to bite the bullet and pay for someone to come and set it up immediatly when it goes tits up. Those self-install kits from xtra can be bizarly difficult,the entire wizard interface is a crock. |

Aslong as you had the modem installed it normally took no more than a few minutes to get online. You didnt need any flashy filters or spiffy routers/network, as long as your ISP had enabled your account its was all good to go. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 293412 | 2004-11-18 17:51:00 | I would expect the ADSL modem to get quite warm, you notice how small and compact it was? Well it would be housing a CPU in there too and that can generate quite some heat. The operating temperature for it is 0°C - 50°C, so if it's below that or above that I would be concerned. A few other modems have been known to have overheating issues. Kame |
