- Phil,
- I have to agree. I got a new one a few days ago. Spent one whole day
- with 1.2 firmware just dialing in and out from my isp. Every connect
- was at 26400, none lower, none higher.
-
- Flashed to 1.4 the next days. Since then about 30% connects at 28800,
- and the rest at 26400. The flash was also very simple.
-
- The modem is definitely worth the $129 I paid.
