It could have been a one off.. I wish i could find one that was stable. My q1000 is flaky too, I think it might be the service though. About once a day I get really slow. I will run the qwest speedtest and will be down to 2.x mb(from 20). I run a business from my home and really wish I could find solid fast service. I tried comcast but they put stuff( didn't spend a lot of time looking at what they put) on my boxes. It made me feel ... yucky. I pulled it out as soon as i found it. linda On 5/12/14, 3:02 PM, Carl Wilhelm Soderstrom wrote: > On 05/08 11:39 , Linda Kateley wrote: >> Just a fyi, i have gone through 2 zyxel modems.
