Re: [Connectivity] Is shop.rcn.com broken? This is current:
»RCN Forum FAQ »What are the RCN Approved (BYOM) Modems? |

| Yes, reading that list is what spurred my question. Wasn't the Zoom 5041 first released in comparatively ancient times - 2002? Even the Zoom 5241 was released in 2005 (still old) which is why I wondered about the RCN approved list being out of date. I don't see anything in the 5241's feature list that should preclude it from being used on an RCN network, provided that RCN obeys DOCSIS 1.0 or later. |

Lil'H,
You might want to update that FAQ with the info that some approved modems won't make flat-out Mach20 (for sure), or Mach10(probably).
Or if you want to be more measured, you could say, "One user (me) reports that the Tosh2500 maxes out at about 7.1mbps." |

| Our FAQ will still reflect what their website page shows, but I did add a note to the bottom:
»RCN Forum FAQ »What are the RCN Approved (BYOM) Modems?
These modems are certainly capable, whether or not the firmware updates have been forthcoming from the manufacturers
and/or sent out to these modems is a different story

New York, NY | Jim,
FIVE calls to the Phillipines, and one escalation caused me to give up. I ordered a truck roll. $50 and what, $6/mo. later I was at full speed. NOTHING else was done.
Unless the truck tech knows how to get a guy who actually can reset the config file, and no one else in the system does. That couldn't be, could it?
Sorry to beat on you, a standup guy, but the modem swap instantly tripled the speed. Nothing else could. |

How do we achieve 20 mbps speed on my Toshibe PCX2600 modem?
Currently my speed is around 17 mbps. |
