I’m getting over 2 megabytes per second over my laptops wireless network card, which is over 7.2 gigabytes per hour. I don’t even have the fastest service (though I do have a higher than average service level). If I were to upgrade my internet speed through my provider, I have no doubt that this modem would meet the demand of my upgraded service.It’s also nice and easy to use. Nothing cryptic about the interface; it’s very user friendly.I was a little surprised at how much it cost, but this is actually my first DSL modem; all my other modems were made for cable TV internet providers, in which data is transferred over coax instead of the telephone line. However, considering it’s an all in one solution, the cost is comparable to having to buy a separate modem and router anyway.

Perfect if you only have a VDSL connection since there’s only one other option.The only other option I know of is a Century Link C1000A.

Got it from Qwest when they upgraded my community to fiber (VDSL). It has been working non-stop for the past 1.5 years. Supports 4 computers, 4 devices, 1 TV. No problem to stream 2 HD movies at the same time.

I’ve had this modem for a little over a year now. Overall, it’s a solid modem/router, offering multiple SSIDs, 1 Gbps ethernet, and loads of configuration options. I use it to stream movies from my NAS without any issues. Having multiples SSIDs is useful for when you have guests coming over. It also handles my second router as a wireless access point on opposite side of the house (I have q1000 in basement; master bedroom is opposite side of house, two floors up, so the signal gets attenuated a fair amount).I rarely have to reboot it… though that is easy enough, even remotely.
