Re: [TWC] Virtually All TWC Customers Face $3.95 Modem Rental Fe

I purchased and provisioned my Motorola SB 5120 modem[on the leased list] about two years ago but was charged the fee this month. I called the CSR and got the error corrected. I realize that it is Docsis 2.0 and does not do ipv-6 but it is OK for now. Also there is some controversy as to whether the newer Sb 6141 on the TWC buy list will do ipv-6. If it does not do ipv-6 then there is no advantage in my doing an upgrade because my modem has the same specs.

The modem supports IPV6 according to the manufacturers.

Sorry my mistake, I was referring to the Docsis 2.0 Motorola SB5101 not the SB6141 in regard to Ipv-6 compatibility in my Digiti post above.

I can get a 6141 for $79.99 on Amazon, is this a good deal?

I have EL 10/1 for ~$42 so hopefully the price stays the same and they don't charge me for a modem.

Yes, buy it immediately. I paid $100. Just make sure it is not the 6121, which was running around that $80 price.

I just searched Amazon.com for "SB6141".
The first hit is the SB6141 at $130.
The second is the SB6121 at $80.
Then it's the SB6580 at $135.

No 6141s on Amazon at the $80 price.

Ah, you're right, it is the 6121. I'll wait and see if they charge me or not since I'm EL.

A lot of people made that mistake, and I'm not sure why.

I am glad I saved you from going that route in error.

When I typed in the 6141 model number, all of them came up. 6141 was 1st result, 6121 was 2nd result, and much cheaper.
