Best adsl modem supported by verizon
What would be the best (fastest) adsl modem for a network of less than 10 users that is supported by Verizon? Is it difficult to configure a modem that is not supported by Verizon on the Verizon network?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Are some adsl modems faster or better than others for a network of ten or less?
ADSL modems and the traditional phone line modems are NOT the same if you are thinking speed. The speed of which you get your ADSL is regulated by the provider. The ADSL modem is there to convert an digital single off an analog line.
Depending on your service agreement you will get an UP & Download speed which will vary and NOT dependant on the modem. The usage for 10 users will also vary, are they browsing the web? retrieving emails? downloading large files? This is something that you need to gauge. What you could do is get the most economical plan that your provider offers. Should you determine that you need larger bandwidth, then request more bandwidth from your provider after you have deemed that you need it.

Do some modems modulate and demodulate faster than others? I don't want my modem to be a weak link. Understand?
Thanks
Thanks

Could you be more specific about the ADSL modems?
thank you for the quick grading...
Here is a link to an arbitrary ADSL product
http://www.gvntech.co.uk/trustmodspec.htm
Notice in the specifications
Up to 8 Mbps downstream speed (depends on ISP contract)
Up to 1 Mbps upstream speed (depends on ISP contract)
The speed is determined by your ISP.

The answer to your 2nd question is NO. As long as you have your WAN IP address, subnet, gateway IP, and DNS servers provided by Verizon, it is a less than 5 minute process to configure.
