Advice needed on Broadband
Ive been asking around everywhere and its a simple question but no-one seems to know the answer.
I currently have a 512Mb Broadband connection with one of those Alcatel Speedtouch ADSL external USB modems. I want to upgrade my connection to 1 Meg and was wondering if I need another modem or whether my existing modem will support the 1 Meg connection. I thought as long as you had an 'ADSL' modem, no matter what speed the connection was it would support it because its ADSL. Is this right or not? Jimbo T  blower

Re: Advice needed on Broadband
Your existing modem should support the faster service. May need a little tweaking but should be ok. Check the Alcatel website for full spec on your modem.

Re: Advice needed on Broadband
Perran - thanks for the advice - dont know why I didnt look at speedtouchs website before. My modem can cope with up to 8Gb so its the connection only package for me
 Jr - I was just thinking of going with Wanadoo (simply for less fuss - existing Freeserve customer) but now thinking I might give these Zen geezers a look at .... Jimbo T blower
