224109 2004-03-21 08:10:00 Hi Are the broadband starter kits available from xtra (modem+instructions etc) when you order your plan the same as what is available at retailers.
Also do USB ADSL modems need USB 2.0. ,if so is it difficult to upgrade from USB1.1
Thanks

224110 2004-03-21 08:47:00 Yes they have kits, and modems only need USB 1.1 Growly (6)
224111 2004-03-21 08:48:00 All should be the same.

Avoid USB or PCI ADSL modems unless you have no choice.
Use ethernet connected modem/routers if at all possible, for reliability and security.

224113 2004-03-21 10:32:00 Actually USB 1.1 is capable of 11 Mb/s...so no need to imagine too much. godfather (25)
