Hi!

I'm just completely lost about what to get, basically.

I currently have a crappy Modem+Router combo that I'd want to change (Freebie when I got my 10 mbps connection)

I used to run with a ZyXEL P-660R-D1 and a Linksys Cisco E2500, until it ran into some problems. They told me the modem cant handle 10 mbps (it's pretty old, freebie when I first got my 1 mbps connection) Instead of giving me a new modem, they give me a modem + router which sucks. I tried configuring it to work with my old router, still sucks.

OK SO... I need to buy a modem.

Anyone have any ideas?
I only have a 10 mbps connection. I don't need anything faster than that (I think the current standard for what I need is 12 or 24 mbps capability?) I just need RELIABILITY, and compatibility with my Linksys Cisco E2500.

Edit: My connection is ADSL2+ -> 10 Mbit Download, 1 Mbit Upload
Edit 2.0: My ISP is PLDT, I live in the Philippines.
 
Solution
the problem is that there are almost no only DSL modems. If you find one, the question still is if it will work with your ISP. A DSL modem will not work with every ISP.

Always turned out glitchy and unstable. I might try that again with a few guides by fellow Filipinos I uncovered last night. But yeah, right now I really want a clean slate again...

Well, I used to use a ZyXEL Prestige 660R

I've heard that the same seers has updated models (ADSL2+)

What do you think?
