| 669248 | 2008-05-14 12:22:00 | Any ideas why internal modems for BB seem not to be as readily available as they once were?Because 99.9% of people want an external modem. ;) Reasons: Easier to install. Easier to share between multiple devices. Many people have a laptop as their only computer and hence couldn't use one even if they wanted to. |

| 669249 | 2008-05-15 07:21:00 | I really have to suggest totally avoiding internal DSL modems, for the following reasons 1. takes up a card slot 2. your comp will be handling a bit of work that externals do for free 3. Externals are now stupidly cheap and easy to get Reasons that justify having an external 1. A lot of them have wifi built in which can be handy for guests with laptops 2. T'com and most other larger ISP's will give you a free one :) 3. Extra security functions 4. built in switches allowing more pc's to share the connection. Personally i've hated internal DSL devices since they were released, same goes for internal 56k modems, the hatred was born from providing tech support for them when DSL was first starting up in NZ, I'd die a little inside with every call. which wasnt the case with the Nokia M10,M11,M1122 I like M1122's so much i still have several in my stash. |
