- Interesting. I have both a Power 28.8 and a Sportster 33.6. The Power
- 28.8 connects at 28.8 99% of the time to my ISP. The Sportster about 80%.
-
- I compared a friend's new Courier 33.6 to my modems last week and found the
- Sportster had a throughput rate very close to the Courier, for about 1/2
- the price. The Motorola was slightly slower in throughput.
-
- Seeing how modems are changing I'd recommend you think twice about spending
- $450-500 for a modem that might be obsolete in a year or two when ISDN
- catches on.
