Welcoming back some tech review love to AusGamers, with our newest contributor (and an old AG local), Glen "Barry McBruce" Gugliotti, we take a look this week at D-Link's DSL-2877AL.
Here's a snippet of Glen's review:
Sadly, like the NBN’s use of copper technology, VDSL modems are a bit behind the times in terms of wifi speeds. The majority of the VDSL equipped modems I found in my research only came with a top wifi specification of Wireless N. Even a quick search of staticice.com.au for ‘VDSL2+’ modems only shows us a single capable modem - the D-Link DSL 2877AL, which thankfully is the one we are taking a look at today.
The D-Link DSL-2877AL is a ADSL2+/VDSL2+ Modem that has more features than a mid 90s swiss army knife. Not only can the DSL-2877AL take care of your current ADSL2+ connection until the NBN co finishes that FTTN install, but it can also support a 4G USB dongle in case you are out of monthly quota or something catastrophic happens to your phone lines.

no, I think those are the unlucky buggers
I am one, and while the fiber has been rolled, there is no eta on hook ups, and it's likely it will still suck (I seen and tried real NBN (aka FTTH) and it is great!, I can't honestly see FTTN being any better than cable was/is)
