Okay... maybe we're agreeing loudly. But I still maintain that you should check to ensure that your modem doesn't have the chipset bug, because it WILL adversely affect your speed, thus leading to choppy streaming video or noisy VOIP.
For the purposes of the original poster, I think we agree that certain modems should be avoided (due to the chipset issue), and others are probably overkill (because 3.1 makes no difference for 99% of us). Yes?
