Dear PapaSmurf,
Truly, what cable modem would you recommend for the (Manchester) Connecticut system? Also, what model is currently supplied by the Manchester, CT office?
Much Obliged! |

@cox.net | My current modem is a Toshiba PCX1100U, which seemed to be just fine until the last few months when things started slowing down. Could this problem be associated with a change made by COX, such as a DOCSIS update, etc? |

That modem is not on the supported modems list

Phoenix, AZ | I'd recommend a Motorola SB5120 (Or SB5101 if not available) for virtually ANY DOCSIS 1.x/2.x cable provider. |

Splendid! It certainly was on the supported modems list when I installed it.
It sure would be nice if we as customers were advised of changes that would affect certain modems that are no longer considered to be supported!
I need a recommended modem that COX will not consider to be legacy in a short while. |

I'm not an official Cox rep like Papa Smurf, but I have had very good luck with my Motorola SB5120 here in the north central CT area. In fact, since I installed it last June, I have had no issues at all with my 5/2 service. I get the full 5 down and about 1.8 up regularly. My previous modem was also a Motorola and it ran perfectly 24/7 for six years before it finally began to die.

Thanks for your replies, Gamer and Ender3rd - I was leaning that way with some research I've done but it appears to be consistent with your combined experience.
