Title: Run, don't walk, away from this modem
Product review: After lightning came through my phone line, causing my modem to always be open, I ordered a replacement modem through Gateway. This is what they sent me. Its nothing but garbage, which is where it now resides. Takes over a minute just to connect, several minutes to download one page, if they load at all, numerous disconnects, never a speed higher than 30 Kbps (when the old modem was getting between 40 and 44), and more often in the low 20s. After two weeks I stopped using this modem and am back to the damaged modem which still works better than the Best Data modem. Probably the worst computer-related purchase I've made in my life. If I could give this negative stars I would. And the next modem won't be purchased from Gateway.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
