Hi all, <snip> Below is the approved equipment list from Optus[1]:
Manufacturer Model(s) ========================== Motorola SB4100, SB4101, SB4200, SB5100, SB5101 Netgear CG814WG, CVG824G, CG3000 CISCO EMTA2203, DPQ3212, DPQ3925
I note that my modem is already on there, but allegedly (second-hand information) the woman at Optus suggested a Netgear or a CISCO.
They might want you to "upgrade" to get all the features rolled in to one device or might like to sell you one themselves who knows . This site http://www.motorola.com/Video-Solutions/US-EN/Products-and-Services/Voice-an... seems to say that the 5101 can do 30Mbs so should be okay without an upgrade of hardware, you might need to update the firmware for the device but it would seem to support the faster speed out of the box, maybe get the cable service upgraded for speed and see if the modem handles it, if not then go shopping for a new modem -- Mark "Pockets" Clohesy Mob Phone: (+61) 406 417 877 Email: hiddensoul@twistedsouls.com G-Talk: mark.clohesy@gmail.com GNU/Linux..Linux Counter #457297 - "I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code" "Linux is user friendly...its just selective about who its friends are"
