You're not the first person I've heard say that. Hmm.

I was forced to buy a Billion ADSL modem for work (!!) recently, because 
our trusty Alcatel SpeedTouch Pro was stone cold dead on Monday morning 
and that's all I could get on short notice. I was astonished - it took 
me one minute to unpack it and get it hooked up, another minute to 
connect to it, 10 seconds to configure it for bridging, two minutes to 
figure out I really only need to do what I'd done in those 10 seconds, 
and then I was up and running. It's been 100% rock solid ever since.

So ... I'm impressed. I keep on hearing people saying good things about 
them, but I'm used to people saying good things about anything nasty but 
cheap. In this case, at least in bridging mode, they seem pretty 
impressive. I have heard about problems with their PPPoE client, but ... 
doesn't bother me :-)
