Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had 3 of these atrocious modems foisted on me by Dell.
I don't ask for a lot from a modem. It needs to not break
down, and to be able to handle somewhat noisy lines without
losing too much throughput. The CBM56WBG fails in both regards.
The longest I've had one work was 3 months. They've failed for
various reasons, so I have to believe there is a real quality
issue here with Xircom.
Even a small amount of noise will really crimp your downloads
with this modem. It seems to be really intolerant of line
noise. I can rarely connect at any speed highly than 45.3Kbps,
and my effective throughput is usually 60% or less of that. Since
we live like gypsies, I've been able to test this modem from
a number of locations, both urban and rural, and the result
is similar in all cases.
Finally, you get a XJack connector with this modem. Be
prepared for inadvertent log-offs as you adjust the position
of the laptop and the cable disconnects.
