Re: Westell modems with SBC Yahoo DSL

Are you on a CO or RT line.

The reason is, the Westell is worth it's weight in gold on CO lines, but actually perform badly on real clean RT lines. It seems the Westell is programmed to expect a certain amount of db loss, which clean, close RT lines don't have.

That is interesting!! Is it all Westell's or just the 36R516. i.e. does the 2100 perform bad too?

Re: Westell modems with SBC Yahoo DSL

The only one SBC used was the 516, so as far as the others I wouldn't know.

Ken,

Thanks for that info. I could see the 36R516 having an issue because that uses an Alcatel chipset which is older.

The 2000 series for Westell use TI chipset. I would think those would work but can't say for sure.
