When I bought a new wireless router to replace my USB ADSL modem the
connection speed went up from about 3.2 Mbps up to about 7.2 Mbps or
so. Do you reckon that a lot of people who're using USB modems,
which I'd imagine is still quite a lot of people, would be able to
see their speeds increase a lot if they simply bought a new non-USB
ADSL modem?
Too many variables to say.


Fair enough.


Generally, I'd hope for an speed increase
as ye are getting rid of something that adds a load onto the host
system's CPU and the operating systems USB host sub-system. But your
experience of going more than double the speed kind of points towards
something else - maybe an ADSL signalling mode not supported by the
older device, or some horrendous signal-to-noise issue on your line -
maybe the particular filter or modem wasn't man enough...


Possibly. But don't you think that the same might also apply to other people
with USB modems as well?
