Default What happened to cheap reliable ADSL modems ?

I bought 2 D-Link DSL 500B modems a while ago at $US 20,00

Lightning struck, so I replaced the one that was there, but
all I can find locally are expensive "super" Wifi ADSL modems to buy
as a spare.
Any good solid reliable "simple" models still being made ?
(with just a phone jack, an Ethernet jack and a power supply)
Just the model number please, I won't be buying in the US.
TIA

If there are any around, they're probably "End Of Line".

D-Link DSL-520B $55

Broadcom makes a lot of the SOC chips used in
products like that. If Broadcom no longer makes
the low end chips, then TPLink can't make cheap
modem boxes either.
