They have in fact supplied a number of quite different modems,
the netcomm NF7, NF12, the Haewai etc.

But useless on the 100/40 plan.

They do indeed and other models of that brand too.

You've got a 100/40 service for less than you were paying for
25/5, get a much better modem than that steaming turd, for $1,
get MUCH better support than anything TPG supplies etc etc etc.
