It's not a conspiracy theory...
I didn't say it was a conspiracy, I said that the Comcast tech's explanation sounded fishy to me. I really don't believe that the CEO of Comcast sits in his office every day and worries that I might be able to see what bit rate my upstream connection is currently using

Believe what you want, however, the ability to see modem stats for any cable modem *is* dependant on the firmware.
Uhm... yes, of course. What else would it be dependant on?
said by anontech1290u8 :
If you cannot see the modem stats from 192.168.100.1, some modems do not allow it. Call Comcast and they can be reviewed with an agent.
I don't want to call Comcast every day to get information that my modem should be able to provide me any time I want to see it. And, as I wrote in my original post, I have gotten two conflicting answers from Comcast.

If you can see them one way and not the other (sync/no sync) What is the problem?
Do you drive a car? What would think if the car manufacturer only let you see what the speedometer said when the car was stopped? Not that useful, would it be?
