The hauwei openreach modem hg612 if favoured by many as you can buy a hacked 1 for about £30 which allows you to view your line stats. Or just get a. standard openreach modem as it is just plug n play. They are inexpensive and never needs attention once connected.

The HG612 is getting a bit long in the tooth but they do work well, I'm on an ECI Cab and my line likes the ECI version better by about 7Mbps, which is a nightmare as it needs a hardware hack for stats. If you do grab a HG612 get a 3B version, the others had issues with overheating, also make sure as BIG_DOG said its been updated to the latest firmware to support G.inp and also so you can get stats off it if you want them.
