Rochester, NY | Yes, I have been scanning different approved equipment lists in different divisions and see the 6141 is a better choice. I have made the change. |

Got 6141. Waited more then 2.5 hours (!) on phone to reach to tech support level 3 to connect it. Regular tech support was not able to activate it. |

2.5 hours? Wow, it seems activating a cable modem seems a difficult process for basic support to do.  |

It's pretty much sold out right now. There were 8 total on amazon last Thursday. Ebay has a few, but the price has spiked considerably. Best bet is to eat the $4 charge for a few weeks/months until the price drops to a reasonable amount. |

It was ordered on Amazon at October 2nd or 3rd about $99 and $5 shipping. EBay’s profilers bough the stack and now it is double price $200 on EBay. May be in couple of moths the price come back lower due to demands but nobody knows. |

Found I was lucky to have it activated. Other people were denied the same day and connected only today with 20 minutes non avoidable waiting per every call. |

| reply to antdude
And 1 hour 40 minutes to return their old modem in Queens mall TWC shop to be sure to avoid the charge. |

Thx: I got lucky. Amazon showed none and then one popped up outta nowhere...I managed to order it for $130: high, but compared to what I see on eBay, not that high.
Thx again. |

| The Dallas area is currently not getting the modem lease fee. I cancelled my order for a SB6141 on Amazon. Maybe that is the one that freed up  |
|
| I'm paying $2/month in the DFW TX area. |
|
| I am guessing you are not on the 30/5 tier or higher then since I don't think they charge at those tiers. |

Texas and other southern region systems are supposed to be next, probably in December. Ignore the CSRs, they have no clue what is going on until the memo arrives. |

Probably not. Otherwise they would have charged you even before they notified you there would be a charge.
