- Evening,Daniel,
- Is the, hopefully, increase in speed worth the
- difference? I have the 288 Power and live in an older
- neighborhood. I never connect to AOL or Prodigy faster than
- 264, usually 244. I ran a dedicated fone line straight to
- the interface outside.
- This modem has never hiccupped since I`ve owned
- it.(external).
- Tech service is easy to connect to.
