Recommendation from my ISP is a Zyxel VMG 4005-B50B. I'm wondering if others have different recommendations. Also wondering what the difference between a B50B and a B50A are; it's not obvious to me looking at specs, other than the B50A supports G.993.1 VDSL which shouldn't be important I don't think. Thanks, Gary
