just got this baby http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6825122104
after having very slow connections and hangs and calling 5 or 7 times Comcast I decided to get rid of the old 3 year old cable modem I got with my service, and guess what?

yes! this is a Ferrari compared to that old hot ugly beige modem! I asked about this a while ago and now I can tell there is a huge difference, if you want more info read the reviews at newegg


plus I do not have to pay $3 bucks per month anylonger for"renting the modem to comcast" jeez

:cool : :cool : :cool : man this one is fast! maybe you know a 3 year old cable modem is something that you have to change, maybe it was just my modem, but hey I'm a happy camper! :D

Cool Augix! That's the one I had originally. Now I have an Arris Cable Modem w/VoIP support that the cable company installed. No difference in speed between the two so far as I can tell. I'm surprised they didn't want to swap this out for another one when I cancelled the VoIP, but whatever. :)

How are pings when doing that? I have a 4100 and its easily very fast but when I do max my cap pings go up by a couple hundred ms. I've been caping myself at around 2megs down just to keep pings reasonable.
