Can anyone give me some choices for a good quality dsl modem router.
I'm on Plusnet and have gone thru 2 routers Linksys 160n and the Thomson TG585 V8.
I'm currently have reduced speeds and they say it could be the router so would like to get a new one that will last.

I had been looking at this:

Until I found this:

I can thoroughly recommend Billion, we bought the BiPAC 7800N, it's pricey but the connection is rock solid. No more regular line drops and the speed is slightly faster now too due to the more reliable connection being recognised by the ISP's DLM system.0

Another recommendation for the 7800N.
I had similar line issues using an old Belkin router with Plusnet ADSL and this fixed them. Plus it can do both ADSL and Cable so when I moved in with my gf who had cable this got used again and gives a better signal and speed than her old one.0
