TalkTalk SmartAX modem gets smashed up

After getting a replacement modem for my friend, we decided to smash up his old temperamental SmartAX modem to relieve some of the stress it caused :)

(yes i am aware that one bit becomes out of sync with the music, but the clips were so small, my laptop couldnt keep up with the rapid changes)

Look at the inside of the modem, it has a Conexant/Globespan GS8120 chip, that chip sucks ass.

Now there are a new revised version that uses a "Trendchip" chipset and works better.

Anyways, don't ever buy huawei, it's just crap on a fancy case. You can't be sure on any model what kind of crap it has inside.

yeah, the newer talktalk supplied modems have trendchip inside. still not great though. cant beat a good broadcom chip :p

These modems are fucking useless thank fuck im going with another isp soon so i can have a brand new router.

[jaketommot]

@AbsolutelyBaked or you could just use a different router? or get one of the new ones from TT. they are only £30.

seriously, you can use whatever router you want

if anyone has talktalk broadband and wants help with opening nat for xbox live then message me on youtube or xbox live (ETERNAL NEMISIS)-Gamertag.

@manu1469 there are a bunch of different routers talktalk supply and have supplied... are you sure you can portforward/configure upnp/configure dmz on all of them?

[mikecawood]

When I was with TalkTalk they promised me a super-duper N router and supplied me with a Huawei. That router went at least as fast as a tortoise.
