I am soon to be moving home and will be needing a new broadband modem/router. I'm not bothered about going wireless, so what should I be looking at, are there any particular bargains to be had or anything I should definitely avoid?

Any help much appreciated!!!

Well i have just got a Speedtouch 585i v6, seems very solid and reliable so far and can be tweaked with DMT tool if you have a long or noisey line. Seem to be very popular at the moment with many people over here and dslzone and adsl guide forums :D
 
Have had a bit of a look at the 585 and it does indeed seem to be rather popular, just one question, it says it's an ADSL2+ modem. Having not heard of ADSL2+ I had a quick look and at it seems to be a faster form of broadband, is that right?

If it is, will this still be compatible with plain old vanilla adsl??? I guess it will be but just wanted to check.
