I think what the original respondant was wanting to know was the negotiated
line speeds... No semi-modern ADSL router (M1122 even qualifies) should have
any problem keeping up with routing plain traffic at these speeds, but the
individual chipsets, design decisions, gain programmed in etc mean that some
devices can reliably hold higher connect speeds on dodgy lines... So
reporting the up and down trained rates would also be useful, as would some
idea of stability - ie. How long between retrains...

Subject: USR 9105 versus Nokia M1122

Updated version including software version numbers.

Some time ago someone asked about the relative speed of the M1122 versus a
more modern router for a difficult line. Here is one example. I am based
some distance from the exchange and so can't expect full speed. I have just
switched from a Nokia M1122 to a USR 9105 ($185 from Ascent Technology).

The M1122's software is version Gx1x2230.G03 and hardware version is
T66280.01 G.
The 9105's firmware is version 1142_082603-2.12L.01.a0_23a.

These are the download speed measurements for the new and old routers based
on 4 blocks of 1 megabyte using the www.jetstreamgames.co.nz/speed site.

USR 9105: 2.5 megabits / second

Nokia M1122: 1.8 megabits / second

Although there was quite a bit of variation between the 1 megabyte blocks I
am pretty confident that the USR is faster (for downloads).
