First, call their tech support and ask them. They will (probably) be glad to help you.

If they aren't helpful, any good geek in a computer store worth his pocket protector should have the answer for you.

Your ISP's tech support should be willing to help you. By either recommending a model or sending you a different model.

Out of curiosity what model modem did they send you? Why don't you like it?

Unlike cable, with its industry-standard specs (DOCSIS), you can't just go out and buy a DSL modem at Best Buy. Things to consider:

1) What kind of DSL: ADSL, RADSL, SDSL, IDSL, VDSL...?

2) Is the modem you want to get compatible with the DSL company's DSLAM?

3) Will your ISP support modems that they don't provide?
