| [CDV] Using Voice/Data EMTA as HSI Modem I am wondering if I could use my owned Arris TM722G EMTA as a data only modem when I switch the home phone service to Verizon landline as I am having to use traditional telephone service because I am getting a home security system activated that relies on phone service to relay alarm signals. If I do have to go back to a regular modem, I have a Motorola 6120 in my decommisioned gadgets bin.
The battery in my alarm panel lasted the whole time power was out (3 days) last October. The CDV modem died a couple of hours after the power was lost.

All of my CPE (including my EMTA) is customer owned. The only Comcast owned equipment in my house is the CableCards in the two TiVO boxes I own. |

Probably. is it a better MODEM than a 6120 for HSI? |

I use mine as a data only modem. Comcast just disables the voice part of it. I have 4 channels down and 3 up. Works great. |

My current "add-on-HSI" promotion will be running out in a few months. If I can't arrange to get another promotional price for my TV-HSI double-play bundle, I was thinking of moving my second home phone line to CDV in order to get a triple-play promotional discount.
I'm currently on the Performance HSI tier and own my cable modem (a Moto SB6121) to avoid paying the $7/mo lease fee.
If I sign up for the triple-play, I'd like to then buy an ARRIS TM722G eMTA at a Best Buy to replace the SB6120 and continue to avoid any monthly lease fee(s).
If my local Best Buy stores are not on ARRIS-Xfinity-BestBuy list (»www.arrisi.com/consumer/_docs/AR···_Buy.pdf), does that mean that my area does not allow customer-owned eMTAs? What Comcast number do I call to check on that? |
