I had originally purchased the TRENDnet-Data-Modem because the price was better, but it was fragile and quit working well after only a couple months. This modem is just as easy to use, but designed much sturdier. Connectivity is terrific, and my slow ol' dialup seems faster!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Modem, February 19, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: StarTech.com USB 56K external Modem (Personal Computers)
I am pleased with the modem so for. The only issue I had was loading the drivers from the supplied disc. This did not work like the instructions said. It may have been because I am using windows 7. The questions and prompts that were suppose to pop up when the modem was connected to the USB did not happen. I had to open a folder and select the set-up file manually. There were 3 set-up files in the folder. The second file was the one that had the drivers my PC needed. After the drivers were added the modem worked great.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad customer and technical support, January 7, 2010

This review is from: StarTech.com USB 56K external Modem (Personal Computers)
After reading two only reviews about this product on Amazon, I purchased it. I couldn't make it work with their installation instructrion. It showed that the driver installation failed. On the product package, it listed 24 hours support. In fact, it wasn't; it was like sending an e-mail contact, no phone numbers. I tried to get some helps from them, wrote to them twice with detailed my vista OS and problem of installation. Finally, one week after their technical support guy wrote back and gave me an answer unrelated to my question and problem. So, I wouldn't buy any products from this company because of lack customer/technical support.
