I have no experience with satellite, one time I wanted to get it because my other provider got a cap but I had to upload via 56k and download via satellite. Which is crap basically because then I need to get another phoneline.

How are the speeds on this one and I'm guessing upload/download is via the same pipeline.

Dlink routers are horrible.

My D-Link is great, never had any problems with it.

Most routers support PPPoE as far as I know, we use PPPoA here, yet my router and everyone elses I've setup has PPPoE on too.

I think I'll upgrade to either the latest modem or buy another brand.

I have the Speedtouch 580 since 10 months or so. It's a great WIFI ADSL Router modem. With 4 LAN ports and many 802.11g WLAN connections.

Dlink routers are horrible.

Personally, I found them to be quite reliable and full featured

I have an 8 port router. Don't really have the need for wireless at the moment, but that would be something for future use.

We're probably going to go with the Movie Lover combo.

It's nice they got a lot of stuff, but I wish you could just choose the channels you want instead of packages because it seems there is only 1 or 2 that are good in each one.

Well I thought I'd try and just hook my comp directly to the modem and do a speed test.
It didn't make a difference so my router isn't causing and load.

I sent you all the info and I have the modem boxed and ready to go... Just waiting on how you want it shipped.
