My ISP (CenturyLink) is telling me that this modem will not support or run with 25mbps DSL and I will have to use their modem, is this true?
ISP tells me that the Netgear ADSL+2 will not work with 25 Mbps internet and I will have to use their modem/router combo. Is this true or will I be able to utilize my Netgear?
ADSL2+ modems are limited to 24,576 kilobits per second downstream and 3,584 kilobits per second upstream. Century Link is probably using a pair bonding modem that combines the capability of two telephone circuits to ensure you get the full 25Mbit/s. That is special equipment not usually sold in retail stores. For example the Cisco DDR2200 Residential Gateway has two telephone inputs on the back. https://internethelp.centurylink.com/internethelp/pdf/modems/datasheet-ddr2200.pdf
So, no the Netgear DM111PSP is not going to work in a line bonding setup for 25Mbps.
