There's a couple sections in the FAQ over at: http://www.dslreports.com/faq That address this: Q: DSL modem and surge protection (#335) A: DSL modems can be taken out by thunderstorms so you do need a surge protector if they are frequent in your area. Unfortunately, surge protectors have also been reported to reduce download speed, so you would be advised to test your speed before and after installation to make sure that it adds no problems to your line. Q: Do all surge protectors slow down your connection? (#497) A: Not all of them. I have a tripplite isobar with network and cable protection that allows me download speeds of over 1500. >From another user: I use an APC Back-UPS Office with network/cable protection and >cannot see a measurable difference between running through the protector and going >directly to the NIC. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
