I agree that it is surprising that they haven't replaced the lines. However, look at it from a business prospective. Why replace the lines when you are essentially the only high speed internet provider in that neighborhood, as well as the surrounding neighborhoods? Verizon DSL isn't even comparable. I'm sure that's how they're looking at it.Interesting. Surprised they don't or haven't replaced lines.
On a side note I had a Netgear X4 router for about 6 months. Biggest pile of junk I ever had. Continually dropped connection and would go offline for no apparent reason. Lasted 3-4 firmware updates and that thing hit the junk pile. Switched to a ASUS 88U and get speeds on internernal network and speeds to outside world like never before. With all due sincerity don't rule out that Netgear LOL. They wanted me to pay for tech support and it was like 6 months old. I told them kick rocks and let my wallet speak for me. Still have that pile of junk in a box somewhere
I've never had a problem with the Netgear routers I've bought, but I've had plenty of problems with the Comcast branded gateways that Netgear made. I've never used Asus routers, but I've heard good things about it.
