But I think there's some other factor in this equation. I use three
different dirt cheap HCF modems, two of them with unknown,
non-upgradeable, firmware, without problems. Possibly the biggest
difference is the telephone-line. We Dutch have relatively short, high
quality lines (at charges so high you guys won't believe me) compared to
America. The longest line you will find here is 8 kilometers (5 miles)
from customer to local exchange, and I have a feeling this matters a lot
for HCF-based trash.

Do others have the feeling there's a relation between quality of
telephone-line and HCF problems?
