If you don't see me online after today it's because . .

Pretty much, am using a Netgear DG834 here

[sammyc]

Had mine for over a year (BT hub that is) and not had any trouble off it, & that's with *moderate* internet use (ahem)

it falls over more than a one legged alcoholic.

this is true, however

So, any ADSL router would be fine then?

Yep, with the possible exception of belkin.
Although mine does seem to be working reliably now ive actually got it working . . . .

Still a piece of poo though

TalkTalk is simply a gamble.

My auntie who lives in Eltham, London has a good stable connection, however my girlfriends parents who live in Vauxhall, London, have an unstable connection that usually goes down every Friday and wont be up again until Monday, and no matter how much you call their awful, unintelligent, incapable, script reading customer service nothing ever changes.

BT is more or less the same, most companies that have their customer service in India are a gamble, I personally refuse to do business with companies who base their customer service in other countries, even if it means I pay a little extra.

24 hours later and the connection is still live and stable, hoping it stays like this for the duration of the contract.
