I managed to get another DSL modem, exactly the same as the one I had (Westell Wirespeed B90-36R516), from Freecycle.
It had pretty much the same problems. (slow load, dropped packets, connection time outs, basically un-usable)
I also managed to get what appears to be a newer modem on loan (Speedstream 5100).
That one works with none of the issues listed above for the Westell.
Now, I am wondering if AT&T has gone and changed their network configurations recently in some way as to make the Westell modems incompatible.
Anyone have any knowledge or experience on this?
