| Comments regarding the ARRIS TM502G modem???
TWC just replaced my SB-5101 modem with an ARRIS model TM502G. This was done as part of an upgrade to our system (installing the phone service).
Speed test wise, I don't see any issues when compared to the Motorola, however, as I never heard of ARRIS before, I wonder if anyone has any experiences to share?
Oh and by the way, I was expecting them to instal this device NEXT to my SB-5101. My wife told me that they disconnected mine then installed theirs. So I now have a SB-5101 modem as a "spare";-( |

| The Arris eMTA's are very good, I would take one anyday over the SA Webstar eMTA's. Arris is now part of C-COR, and they make all kinds of hardware for cable systems and headends.
No point in splitting the cable just to have a modem sitting right next to a eMTA that does internet just fine. |

SoCal | C-Cor is actually part of Arris now.
C-Cor is a dirty 4 letter word... I'd rather not have to use there gear.
Arris is a great equipment provider though. |

As far as using their gear...it looks like SoCal is going all C-COR, so I guess that sucks. |

Thanks for the information. I went to their website and downloaded the brochure. I was curious as I had never heard about this company before. I thought they might have installed a Cisco/Linksys VoIP modem, but this Arris Touchstone TM502G seems to be working just fine. Too bad I bought my SB-5101 a couple of months ago. But then again, it wasn't that much of an expense.
Are you aware if there is a newsgroup or forum for this ARRIS modem? |

I have had this modem for 9 months or so when I switched to the digital phone service. I was very reluctant to give up my SB5101 but this modem has been rock solid for me. No issues at all with it. |
