Does anyone know of a site that has rated all the modems for DSL connections?

Better yet has anyone done testing on them?

thx.

Yah know I looked a long time ago, when I was first getting DSL. I was naturally gonna get the fastest modem out there. Couldn't find one, so just got the Efficient Networks Speedsteam 5260 that everyone else in my area has been getting.
But on another forum, found a similar post after getting mine, and the guy listed a few, the Efficient Speedstream was in the top 30% or so, so I was happy. But his main point was...the differences were soooooooo little between them, there really wasn't a point.

One difference I have noticed in the latest Efficient Networks Speedstream, their 5360 model that is now showing up, the thing synchs up in like a second...literally. The older model takes like 30 seconds to synch up when you power it on. I have mine on pretty much 24/7 anyways, but...

If you do come across one....post it on up here!
