Anyone know if a list that shows all the modems using Broadcom chipsets?

I need to replace my ADSL modem and we have always gotten the best speeds and performance with Broadcom, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which of the current modem offerings here in NZ are actually using Broadcom chipsets?

is this a bridge modem? if so i'd go for the NF4V. It's the best bang for buck out there with a solid broadcom chipset.

HG659b is also broadcom based, although if your looking for access to the dsl driver, you will have to hack your way through it.

Thanks. Surprising how hard it is to find a reference list.

I did some digging and I see the TP-Link TD-W9977 also has the same bcm63168 chipset as the modems you listed above so I'm going to have a go with that one.

So I just stumbled across this which has quite a good list of detailed information on the variety of hardware out there
