Looks like a great modem. Is it? I'm using the 2Wire 2700HG-B and it's ok, but wonder if there's an advantage to switching. Looks like you can do more with this modem. |

In my experience, a good 2Wire modem beats every other modem out there. Some let you tweak but I find the 2Wire modems because of the chips they use tend to give you the best performance out of the box so no adjustments are required. |

| Hi Piotr_1,
Some people are very happy with their SS4200 while others prefer a 2Wire, for me it's a GNet and i've shown why i appreciate it exactly but you and i we don't seem to speak the same language if all there is to discuss is related to devices that "suck"...

I'm curious about all brands and models as long as i can obtain more than qualitative information so, if you don't mind, you'd please me quite genuinely if you could find the time to add such a snapshot:
 SNR Drops at regular intervals, HiVolt, 2007-Oct-18
The same goes of MLerner even if he was here about two month ago already. I don't mind, i'm patient!

As you can see, this thread is related to tweaking a variety of parameters and, while i test them, it provides a great opportunity for trouble-shooting.
All i care about is what an SS4200 or else will do for me should i get my hands on one of those and i woulnd't mind at all if you could show us what the SpeedStreams 4200 & 6520 are capable of, honestly!
