My old modem was a Webstar DPC-2100. I had it for 4 years and liked it! Comcast techs said that it couldn't do BLAST service 16/2 so I decide to swap modems. Then I upgraded to 22/5 and are buying a MOTOROLA SB6120 Docsis 3.0 modem. [THE BEST.. I've heard]
I don't think most people care about their equipment unless they take the time to do a little research to find out about it.
