Greetings -

I have had it with At&t cable and im going back to DSL. I have just recently ordered service through Speakeasy.net, gamers package. They tell me they can offer me 1.5/128.

I purchased a ISB SOHO router and curently have it, but debating on returning it because it did not work with ATTBI.

My question: what is the best way to get my two gaming computers hooked up to the DSL? Should I stay with nexland SOHO or is there a better, faster way I could be doing this?

Both computers run XP and both are used at the same time for heavy gaming.

I dont know much about speakeasy or Covad so any help would be helpfull. Im just trying to get the best bang for my buck and it seems like I have spent more money returning faulty(Netgear) and not working with At&t(Nexland) back to the manufactures.

Thanks in advance

Welcome to SG...

Depending on the DSL hardware (router or bridge) supplied by Speakeasy, your Nexland router may not be needed. I'd contact Speakeasy and find out if you are receiving a router or bridge. If router with more than one port, then obviously you wont need your Nexland router.

Just got an email from speakeasy.net. They say the hardware I will be getting is a PRESTIGE 645M ADSL MODEM PPPOE MUTLI-MODE BRIDGE MODEM, made by ZyXEL.

I have no personal experience with this CPE, but it looks as though you'll need your Nexland router.:)
