Car: Citroen Berlingo Candyvan, Peugeot 309 RIP :'( Rep Power: 19    |  ADSL2 Modem / Router advice I will be going from a 20/0.512 cable connection with 35gb download limit  to a unlimited 12/1 ADSL connection.    Soooo I need a new modem  Any advice on what I should buy? My home setup is: - 2 desktop computers (wired) - 2 laptops (wireless) - xbox 360 (wired) I do allot of torrents/http downloads, so I need it to not choke on that  Budget doesn't really matter that much. (preferably under 150 euros )

Car: '02 Nissan X-Trail Rep Power: 40 | Hopefully you have a Gbit switch for the wired part? Router life is always affected by the network usage, especially if it daily reaches GBs

I dont. But the laptops i just use for some surfing now & then. I mainly use them for my job. Only one of the desktops uses allot of bandwidth (download rig), and the x360 is only the occasional demo (I hadn't switched it on for 1,5 months before I bought GTA IV  )

 I was on my work laptop :'(  Can't IRC on that. Dommel Netconnect. Belgacom is giving access to the adsl2 network. There's a 100gb limit, but if you take the boostpack you get 150gb, and after that you're placed on mediumband. (which is the same speed )

Car: RIP Opel Astra -> 2006 Toyota Corolla Wagon Rep Power: 32 | And just now Telenet upped it's limits...funny thing is that with the special deal I got, i'm above the new limits for a lower price! I hate to be with Telenet, but for 39 euros/month, I think 20mbit/1mbit with 65gb is a very good deal. And the quality of the Telenet line is superb. /edit: I heard Siemens modems are good? Some people say good things about SMC, but i had one SMC modem/router and it was completely shit //edit: seems like Dommel didn't update their website yet...

I work for the source  so I know for sure it will happen. Yeah telenet updated their limits, to a measily 20gb or 60gb for 61 euro  , and they stopped that trick that allowed you to reset the counter.So telenet is history for me. I btw ordered a Linksys am200 bridged combined with a wrt54gl (on which i'll put Tomato )Unlimited downloading here I come

As a field tech & as tech support. I have my reasons to go for the Belgacom reseller Btw Dommel has the same sort subscription for the same price, (VOIP instead of VoDSL). With unlimited downloading.
