Netgear DG834 followup



Well, it does look as though the Netgear DG834 modem is a fairly poor contender when it comes to sync speeds and throughput on ADSL2+ lines. The Billion 7300 modem that my ISP sent me outperforms the DG834 by nearly 1.5Mbit! The DG834 came up with the following:

    ADSL1 (G.DMT):
    DownStream Connection Speed 5184 kbps UpStream Connection Speed 800 kbps
ADSL2+:
    DownStream Connection Speed 4969 kbps UpStream Connection Speed 810 kbps
The Billion 7300 seems to outclass the Netgear by a fair margin:
    ADSL1 (G.DMT):
    Upstream 800 kbps Downstream 6656 kbps
ADSL2+ (Annex A):
    Upstream 812 kbps Downstream 5390 kbps
ADSL2 (Annex A):
    Upstream 816 kbps Downstream 5338 kbps
Interestingly enough, both modems achieved a higher sync rate using ADSL1 spec than ADSL2 or ADSL2+. Looks like I'll be staying in ADSL1 mode for quite some time :)
