My 2 cents. I've only used a Cisco 678 DSL modem for a full time DSL connection. It is solid as a rock, I've never had an issue like you've described. Most ISP's use Cisco equipment, in my ignorant thinking I would want to use the same equipment my ISP is using. Because it was engineered to work together by the company that made it.
