Atlanta, GA | New modem required? I currently have the "Performance" plan that is 12/2 and I use my own SB5100 modem that has been rock-solid reliable for many years now. If (and I say if because Comcast really has no competition in Atlanta) they upgrade the "Performance" tier to 25/5, will I have to buy a new DOCSIS3 modem? I refuse to rent a modem, I like having my own.

Yes, if you want to be able to take advantage of the full speed offered by 25/5 + Powerboost. I'm in the same boat. My old Linksys has been a good box.

Atlanta, GA | I think I will go ahead and buy a Zoom 5341J just to be ready for everything. It has 8x4 channel capability, as well as gigabit ethernet and IPV6, so it should be future-proof (for now).

Re: New modem required? Other than the UBEE, there are no really *bad* D3 cable modems (I've been leasing my ARRIS WBM-760A - which has been running all-green since the beginning of summer - and I've had nary a problem with it).
Speaking of UBEE, have they gotten their cable modem act together yet? |
