    Thomson SpeedTouch 585 v5. Recommend?

    Thinking about buying one of these...

    http://www.dsldepot.co.uk/product_de...?idProduct=852

    ...to replace my crappy speedtouch 330 usb. I have just move to ADSL 8mb max and the 330 is playing up (random disconnets).

    What do you good folk think of it? Price is great at £17 but would I be better off getting something more expensive?

    Go for the 585v6 I have one and it's not bad, very good for getting the most out of your ADSL line. The only router that is better is an unlocked BT 2700HGV (rebranded 2wire wifi router).
