Re: Does this modem work with ATT cable? in AT&T Broadband http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r2658756 en Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:41:38 EDT Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:41:38 EDT Re: Does this modem work with ATT cable? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2670070 six9 : Back to the topic somewhat I guess. I have been wondering if the Cisco UBR924/925 would work with AT&T's former Media One areas. I have not inquired about this with them. But I have noticed that no Cisco equipment shows up on their "approved modem" list. Is this more because Circuit City®, Best Buy® and CompUSA® do not carry Cisco or because it will not work? The modems on the list seem to all be available at the above listed stores.

When the service was launched in my area, the Cisco was the default modem used. Can any DOCSIS modem typically work on these systems? The model we had when the service was launched was rock solid and hardly ever gave any problems. Maybe twice in 8 months was it down or slow. Does anyone know? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2670070 Tue, 05 Mar 2002 00:30:56 EDT Re: Does this modem work with ATT cable? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2667504 theos2 : Yes, he had all the equipment needed.

I had the modem hooked up and ready to go, all it needed was the Data cable.

I have NO clue how I am getting above the 1500/128. I am in an ex-media One area, but I was never a customer. Might be due to the GREAT signal quality.. =)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2667504 Mon, 04 Mar 2002 20:04:30 EDT Re: Does this modem work with ATT cable? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2666775 LuckyBob : so when he comes to install it he will have like a spare data jack so he can run the cable upstairs? Should I have the modem ready for him? Also some people are getting above advertised speeds... I thought they capped you. How does everybody like ATTBI so far?

They put it on your next bill, and they gave me 2 months free, so I am not complaining.(it was a special 2 day deal last thursday and Friday. They were at my House Saturday to do the Basic Install)I was worried myself, but the guy did an AMAZING job. He took out all the wire, from the telephone pole to my house and down to my basement. He then dropped a brand new line from the pole to my basement, and then ran a wire up to the second floor where he installed the Data jack. it took him almost 1 hour for ALL this. He did a VERY good job, with water loops so the rain doesn't affect the connections, put cable supports along the building to make sure the wind doesn't move it around, and other minor details that most people don't think about. I think for 13.49 I definitely got my money's worth!

BTW: I am getting 1700/300 consistently! I came from Verizon DSL, and I am VERY impressed with AT&T, so far. =)

p.s I bought my own modem for $100(Linksys) which has fitted in perfectly with the rest of my Linksys infrastructure...(BEFW11S4v2,WUSB11v1,WPC11v2.5) I am one HAPPY camper!

Just have them run a cable upstairs (tell them you need a new one due to cable problems or make up some B.S.), you don't need that data out let, but if you want it, don't buy it from them, get it your self. You can buy one for 2 or 3 dollars at Home Depot. HTH!

The motorolas and Toshibas seem to be the two most highly recommended modems... Basically anything that is DOCSIS compliant should work just fine. 1500/128 is the network wide speed unless you are lucky enough to live in a former mediaone area, they still have their 1500/300 speeds for the most part.
