BUYING TIPS
Standards: Cable modems must comply with the Data
over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) 1.0 or the newly
released 2.0 version. DSL modems should comply with industry standards like
G.lite and ITU G.dmt.
Compatibility: Different types of DSL technologies
are incompatible with each other. Therefore, it becomes imperative the
service provider and the user have the same DSL technology.
Vendor Support: Issues like warranty, SLAs,
servicing network and driver availability should be checked out.
