Well it's better now that the hardware can be bought and we aren't playing the waiting game IF the ISPs went to D3 sooner.
So get ready I guess and hope that in the next two years we see the roll out.

Definitely a start, I am sure this thing support DOCSIS 1.0 & 2.0, so that MSOs can order these and start deploying them. Then all they have to do is work on the outside plant/headend & begin offering faster speeds. I am sure by then FIOS at least will be changing everyone over to GPON, staying a step ahead of cable. |

The SB5120 is one of the best modems around. The signal strength issue when run on marginal lines was fixed a year and a half ago.

I use the same chipset in my DCM-202 and it's been rock solid for more than a year. I've actually not heard much about any problems with the TI chipset. |

My SB5120 is amazing, going strong in it's 4th year. |

That's funny; I *have* one of those supposedly non-stable SB-5120s (in fact, I've had it for nearly *three years*, as I bought it new in July of 2005), and it has never failed. Most of the time I've logged with it has been with CHSI 8 Mbps with PB; it's been Utterly Flawless. |
