[Hidden-tech] Verizon DSL slow?

[matthew at the-spa.com]

one quick suggestion on dsl routers, i have setup over 100 dsl and
cable modem routers and i've had wonderful results with the linksys
products. initially i used to recommend the netgear but when the
linksys models came out i switch to those.

the only one i ever had consistent problems with was DLINK, i had a
few customers/friends who went out and bought those because they were
a few dollars cheaper and there were tons of problems.

for a few dollars difference do yourself a BIG favor and get a
linksys or maybe a netgear.

there really is a difference in the quality. linksys is owned by
cisco. all the isp's use cisco.
