How did Comcast let you know about the new tiers? I'm assuming just about everyone has a DOCSIS 2.0 modem only. Did you just call and ask? Did they send something through email or snail mail? Did you already have an eligible DOCSIS 3.0 modem that was automatically updated?
The reason I am curious is that I have my own Mot. SB5120 modem and I will need a newer modem before I can enjoy the new speeds. I'd be happy to swing by the Comcast payment center on my way home and pick up a new rental modem if I knew I could get the 22/5 or 50/10 packages.
Edit: And that speed test is so awesome! |

I'd be happy to swing by the Comcast payment center on my way home and pick up a new rental modem if I knew I could get the 22/5 or 50/10 packages. Not sure how they'll work it in the other areas, but when I signed up they wouldn't let me pick up the modem at the local Comcast office. I had to schedule an install and the tech brought out the DPC2505 modem. Slightly annoying to have to pay $40 for professional install when all the tech literally did was swap the modem and call in the MAC.
I posted my install details here: »June 2008 - Yet another DOCSIS 3.0 install - Minneapolis MN |

Ashburn, VA | Thanks for the info. It sounds like I need to wait until I see a new flyer. |
