Recommended ADSL Modem?

[chaz9999]

So I moved from an apt with a 2MB/1MB line to a house that uses Bellsouth (I guess it's AT&T now) DSL service (600KB/50KB).

My WRT54GL router had no problems handling all the Bittorrent connections I had open while maintaining surfing and online gaming (latency wise) back in the apartment.

However, now that I'm in the house with a Westell B90 DSL modem, it takes forever to access a site and online gaming is out of the question with Bittorrent open (latency wise).

I'm guessing the DSL modem provided by my service provider is a no-go? I've changed the modem to Bridge Mode and have the latest firmware flashed - still bad latency with BT.

So can anyone recommend a good DSL modem? I'd like to keep my router since that's fine, I just wish my modem could handle multiple connections better.

Thanks!

It could also be your modem just cannot handle UDP packets very well...which µTorrent generates LOTS of by default.

...unless you disable DHT, Resolve IPs, and possibly UPnP.

Oof, wouldn't that severely limit the number of peers I'm able to connect to?

Not really, unless you're constantly on near-dead torrents.

Thanks. I disabled DHT, UPnP, and Resolve IPs. *should've checked the FAQ first - feel like an idiot*

It definitely helped, though not exactly the same ping (normal - 50, now ranges from 80-150) in online games as when I'm not using uTorrent. But definitely allows me to quickly surf the net.

Well, if anyone has a recommendation on a solid DSL modem that they know can handle uTorrent, surfing, and online games (FPS) feel free to let me know.
