Hi all,

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

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
