Got my new modem today...surfboard sb6120....docsis 3.0
Using my old docsis 2.0 modem, my download speed was 14Mbps with upload
speed of 1.8Mbps...
Using the new dossis 3.0 modem, my download speed is 26.2 Mbps with
upload speed of 3.1 Mbps.
Wow...dang...woW.

I just kept what I had, which is the basic overpriced service. They claim
they give 12MB with the basic one, but I've never seen it, and don't know
anyone who has except one guy in California who is in one of my vets groups.
He, also, has the basic service(first level, I guess). He has Comcast's
rental modem, which is ver. 3.0.

Jeff, when you installed that DOCSIS 3.0 modem did you upgrade your
Internet speed plan or are you saying you just got a speed boost with
existing service.

available at this time. I have the Motorola and it has worked flawlessly,
so
far. I had the same modem as yours for years, as well, however, when I put
the ver. 3.0 on line it gave a noticeable speed increase with Comcast.
I've
had it online for about 3 months now.

I just noticed that this is one of the two modems that charter supports.
Given that they are willing to sell me this modem, I don't see there
ever being an issue with tech support, though I can't see why I would
ever need it. :)

They want $5 per month for rental.
I've had my current modem for years. They actually site buying a
modem as an option.

Are there other considerations for you? If you're having trouble, they
won't offer tech support unless you are using something they supply. I
know it's mostly an exercise in futility for most people on this list
to call tech support. :) Just out of curiosity, how much is the rental
charge?
