DSL CPE

[Mike Hammett <nanog () ics-il net>]

After a few off-list responses (and a couple on) encouraging me to use NANOG, here we go... 


I've recently walked in to a voice\DSL CLEC that has basically been left to entropy for the last ten years. A lot of 
the core systems just work, but a lot of things aren't exactly managed the best. They run a Calix\Occam ADSL2+\VDSL 
infrastructure. For those of you doing DSL, what CPE are you using? I'm looking at one that's just a basic modem where 
I have a more sophisticated router (or ATA\voice gateway) behind it and then one more generic for residential settings 
with WiFi and all that jazz. We're kinda debating whether we go just dumb Wi-Fi or something more advanced\powerful. 
I've heard a lot of good about the Calix GigaFamily in that regard.
