See previous post - I was upgraded to Infinity this morning. The engineer said that he'd been going round changing the modems because of overheating and now on the front page here I see an article about it. Thing is....the modem he fitted is identical to the one in the photo!! Should I buy a fire extinguisher? It is a bit hot..........

They look the same, but aren't. Yours will be a new one. The old ones were installed months ago. I have one of those from February - no problem at all with it, and it is sited in a very warm place!

Had the same story from the engineer who fitted mine in November. Had spent quite a lot of his time changing modems due to the overheating issues.
I did ask the stupid question "I guess mine is the newer one then???" - he replied "yes", with a wry grin!
And just to add, my Infintiy has been stable now for longer than any of my other connections, and the speed is great. Only issues have been when there has been "engineering work" posted on the BT site for the night before, and these have sorted themsleves out after a day.

Newer as in probably the thermal paste between a chip and its heatsink is properly in place and working. i.e. heat output may be the same overall, but heat is removed away from chip better on the newer batches

I don't understand why they can't supply a modem with a router built in, surely they are available for the service?

The latest version I believe is " 3B " Correct. You will see it so marked, using large bold face, in the top right hand corner of the rear label. (Also the PSU for a 3B modem is white in colour.)
