My household has only four people, but we use 15 devices, and all of us enjoy watching videos at various times. Stepping up to DSL2 would only add $10 (Canadian, including tax) to the bill, and Internet access would still cost less than our land-line telephone. | My household has only four people, but we use 15 devices, and all of us enjoy watching videos at various times.

Then the problems started. After anywhere from 6 to 48 hours, the router would completely crash. The only solution was to cycle the power, and re-establishing the connection took from three to five minutes. That's not something you want to happen in the middle of an online banking session.

It was worth the wait. The Technicolor TG588v required the expected amount of setup, and then worked flawlessly. One quirk was that the setup page is at 192.168.1.254.
