The only bad thing I've got to say about my Zyxel (Prestige 100)
is the poor implementation of compression...

And as for whether it is worth changing software/hardware for
something that does support the same kind of compression that
is available on whichever Demon ROMP one might use, well that
depends on quite a lot of factors. Though IMO it would only
be worth it if the main use is news/mail and web-pages with
no images, as most other usage will involve files that are
already compressed.
