Akeeo ADSL modem 1000/- bucks :thumb:

D-Link is rubbish one should stay away from it.
Have you tried Akeeo yourself or know someone who has?
I was seriously considering their internal ADSL modem. Cheap and reduces the wires running around.

I have been using the MTNL supplied D-Link 502-T router for 3 years now, with absolutely no problems. Always considered it a pretty good router, and I wasnt aware that have a poor reputation.

@acpoa lucky you, only hope it stays that way. coz MTNL motto is 'What we do we can do better'. In english it means 'what we can screw up, we can screw up even more'.

@acpoaI'm using D-Link 502T router since 4 yrs without any problems:yahoo:. D-Link is a very good company, MTNL has screwed up the 502T router's.

well D-Link supplied MTNL with routers having faulty firmware when the service was launched way back in jan 2005 and even now Dlink modems have problems holding on to the ADSL link in case of voltage fluctuation..and also perform poorly on lines with Low SNR

@cyberwiz And it was the jokers at Prabhadevi who swore by these same modems & recommended that I buy a D-Link DSL 502T, now the same jokers are swearing at this company & its products, of course the employees lower down the pecking order have their own story to tell :huh::hysterical::evil:
