In fact I've seen enough problems to be convinced that this modem is a total piece of junk and should be avoided like the plague. I've had mine for about 6 months now and it's had to go back for repair three times already and last night when I tried to use it I found that it no longer detected the carrier when I called another modem. I suspect that this time I'm not even going to bother sending it back for repair because I'll only get another couple of weeks of use out of it before it breaks again (after waiting 4-5 weeks to get it back from USR) and it's just not worth it.
