Creative Labs Broadxent V.92 PCI Data Fax Voice Modem (Inter 
2004-06-05
Sys: PII/375mhz/128mb/Windows 98SE. Utterly pathetic. The instructions tell you to cancel the Windows hardware wizard and use their installation CD. Using the CD, the driver installation takes 5 minutes. It just hangs there saying, "Please wait awhile." When you "finish" and try to exit the install via the Exit button, it attempts to register online, starts to install some registeration (?) program, fails at that, and freezes. Ctrl-Alt-Del, demoshield not responding. Hmmm? End task. When you go to Windows and check the device manager the modem is listed, shows no conflicts, so it must have worked, right? You make a dial-up connection and give it a try. It dials out and, after giving you enough time to go and make a sandwich, eat it, and brush your teeth (perhaps floss), it logs in at laughable 19,200 bps, receives a few bytes, and promptly disconnects. I checked for updated drivers, IRQ conflicts, swapped PCI slots, etc., etc. Same thing. This card sucks. This card was supposed to replace a 6+ year old USR 56k external, which worked on the same system just fine up until it died (electrical storm I think). How do you pronounce Broadxent anyway?!?
Big Dissapointment 2003-12-17
Simply stated, this is the worst modem money can buy.
Consistant very low connection speeds and downloads.
I replaced it with another brand and got back the speed.
It's not the phone line Broadxent.
Don't buy this modem.
Very Good Modem for the Money 
2003-09-06
I agree 100% with Jackcrow-fool's review. I bought this modem as a replacement for a failed Conexant modem on my 3-year old Dell desktop computer. I looked over the box very carefully; it said nothing about being a Winmodem (i.e. not controller-based). As soon as I opened the box I realized from its size that it was not controller-based, but since I had opened the box I installed it. It installed easily and works well. But, I wanted a controller-based modem, so I plan to exchange it at Office Depot. I'm a little reluctant to do so since it works well, and I might be exchanging it for something that doesn't work well. Why do manufacturers hide essential info from buyers, such as the controller issue.
Good little modem 2003-04-24
I found this to be a good little modem. It installed easily. It increased my surfing speed. I can't say I noticed much of a difference in dial up to connection speed or in how fast files or email downloaded, but that may be an issue with my ISP. One nice little surprise was that it used less motheboard memory than my old(5+years) USRobotics Winmodem.
My only complaint is that it is a software driven modem but that isn't spelled out anywhere, not even on their website. When I upgraded I wanted a hardware controlled modem and thought I had lucked into a good and reasonably priced one. Oh well, back in the box it goes.
The best yet 
2003-04-24
I ran the V90 for a long time then I put this V92 in and things really speed up. This is the best for dialup.
Broadxent Blaster V.92 56k Modem 2008-05-02
One of the best PCI Internal Modems on the market today. I am in rural America with no access to any ISP except dial-up. I use 2 of these on Windows XP machine and MultiLink PPP for a combined speed of 98.5k to 106k making it possible to use most streaming music sites but not quite fast enough for streaming video. These Modems have no problems, they connect and bundle 3 times as fast as older V.90 Winmodems and have user features like "Modem on Hold" that make them a notch above the competition. If you want a Modem that is easy to install and use, this is the one.... hands down.... by far the best.
Terrible Modem! 2005-04-12
I bought this modem to replace a 6 year old Conexent to see if I could pick up a little more speed. I wasn't expecting broadband, but I at least wanted to get maybe another kbps. Boy, what a LETDOWN! I couldn't get the connection speed above 19200! I'm not exactly a computer beginner and I tried everything that I could get from the software. No results. No matter if the speed was set at 57000 or 115200. Connect speed at 19200! No higher! With download speeds at a pathetic 2.0 kbps, I was beginning to think I regressed back to my old 486-14.4 days!
Also, As one of the other posters said, the software freezes in the middle of the installation. I run Windows Me, and I realize it is not the most stable of OS's but if the System Requirements say it should run on Win Me it should run on Win Me. I got the drivers on but if I didn't push the reset button it would probably still be stuck in freeze mode! Then I checked out the website for driver updates. I had to look long & hard for the model I had, but I eventually found it. The README description was nothing like the drivers. I don't even know if they WERE drivers. I didn't bother trying to install them. I didn't want to make the situation worse. Then, I tried their email tech support, figuring I had nothing else to lose. Mistake again. Oh, they responded the very next day and asked me to do a check on my system configuration, which I did, but after I responded, that was the last I heard from them. This is why I despise email tech support. Most of the companies I've dealt with don't even respond once, let alone actually solve your problems. But I DID get results by taking this failure out and replacing it with a US Robotics 5699B. I know there is more negative feedback about the USR modem than there is positive on that product's site, but I was lucky with it. I connected at 37333 kbps and my download speeds are 4.0 (at least). I can even listen to a sound file while I'm downloading it (which I could never do before)! I'll never buy anything by Creative again. From now on I'll trust US Robotics!
Get ready for a return, Amazon!
Solid Reliable Modem 2005-01-07
This modem is great!! replaced a US Robotics 5699B which was hanging up and dropping connection. This one holds a solid connection without a hickup. Also, the Netwaiting software, which pops up to show you who is calling and let's you decide if you want to take the call or keep surfing, keeps a record of the numbers that have called you.
Windows 98 Trouble 
2004-09-25
I tried installing the modem software in Windows 98 according to directions and had much difficulty. The software corrupted my registry a number of times, which I then had to restore. Software was poorly designed. I finally got it installed, and it is working fine. However, to avoid headaches, I would look for another modem if you have Windows 98.
Well Satisfied 2004-08-11
After purchasing this modem and receiving it 1 day early I read the enclosed instructions and installed the modem as directed. I am well satisfied with the installation aspect and the perfomance of this modem.
