If you want to prop the coffee table up, either will be fine.

I don't know about the particular product, but I have personally used dabs
for years for a variety of purchases and they have always proved reliable.

You state "1-port or 4-port", so I assume you are actually after a
broadband modem router. This is a relatively complex networking
device based on an embedded microprocessor system running dedicated
software aka firmware. Software contains bugs and therefore
sometimes needs updating to fix problems. The 'value' products
offered are typically unbranded devices with little after-sales
support.

I purchase from both Dabs and eBuyer and have no issues with either
as a reputable retailer. I would choose a branded product for such
a device as a broadband modem router. I also buy 'value' products,
but only commodity, low-cost, well-defined items e.g. mouse or
keyboard.

Unlikely I'm afraid. 3R's are no longer taught in school.

You only need to watch childrens television, or listen to Radio 1 to know
why we are becoming a nation of illiterates.

If Sara Cox ever moves to Radio 4, I'll be selling *ALL* of my radios.

Way off topic I know.

I suspect theres not much in it, assuming the specs are roughly the same.
I'd recommend getting a branded one. This way you may get firmware or
driver updates.
