[ILUG] OT: Smarttelecom wireless modem

[Cian Cullinan]

Has anyone purchased the wireless modem that smarttelecom offer as
part of their home broadband service?
The site doesn't give any information except that it costs €140 which
seems steep, and a nice woman at the help desk could only tell me it
was a "HUAWEI" -whatever that is. Some sort of combined
modem/router/4-port switch jobby probably, but the www.huawei.com site
is horribly slow and I couldn't find anything useful.
Better off getting something standard from Linksys etc?
