Get any modem that has a broadcom chipset.

All modems are same and their problems too.

And yet it's probably true. The problem isn't the modem. It's the poor state of PTCL phone lines.

BTW how is he going to ask for a huawei modem? I doubt the OP or anyone at PTCL knows how to pronounce huawei

No, a Modem has much to do with how a line state is handled. Even if you have marginal line, a Broadcom chipset will perform better than an Atheros chip.

which models of ptcl modems having that Broadcom chipset..?

[mhaqs]

The ZTE ZX DSL 831 probably one, I can't say about the rest. It can be found in the env config of a modem.
