Best to check with your new ISP to see if they recommend or supply any.

Depends on your provider. if you think about it, any modem they provide you, is gonna cost them money in calls and support if it sucks, so its not neecessarily true that it must suck.

I have a Thomson/Alcatel ST516 modem which is standard issue from my ISP, although I bought it second hand for about 15 bucks. Honestly I am shocked at how stable and rock solid this thing is.

A simple ADSL modem with ethernet output is very simple to do and really better than mixing modem and router. So I would give it more respect.

Also Draytek has their 100 and 120 Vigor modems, which are good and very stable. guideband.com if you live in the USA and SEG.co.uk if you live in the UK.
