OK, guys, apologies for asking a question that has been asked many times already, but maybe now there are different options around, so here it goes again...

Our 'phone exchange will finally be upgraded to broadband at the end of March.

I'm thinking of joining up BT broadband, as a first port of call. I think BT gives you a free USB modem which is of little use for Macs (in fact they say it's not compatible).

My setup is: iMac G5, iMac G4 and Albook (all running 10.3.7) joined up via an Airport Extreme base station.

Currently we connect to the internet via the base station modem and it works very well on dial-up.

Once we get to broadband I understand the best policy is to get a new modem and connect it to the base station via the ethernet port.

There should be no need for a router because the base station will already act as a filter, or so I understand.

So, the question is: what is the best broadband modem out there that works well with a base station?

Thanks for any advice,

Walter
