Suddenlink Arris Modem Question........

I found many brand new and used Arris Docsis 3 Telephony Modems on Ebay for cheap around $80-90 bucks, and was wondering since Suddenlink provided me with an Arris Docsis 2 Telephony Modem with no downstream channel bonding.....if I bought one of the Arris Docsis 3 Telephony Modems on Ebay which does downstream channel bonding, if Suddenlink can or will activate it on my account? I ask because I kinda miss having and using my Motorola D3 modem that does downstream channel bonding. Anyways, let me know. Thanks!!

Here is a list of the supported modems customers can buy for use on our network. However I do not believe any of them MTA's.

You can still use your Motorola modem. You'll need to split the cable so it goes to both the Arris and the Motorola. Disconnect the ethernet cable from the Arris and plug it into the Motorola. Call Suddenlink tech support and ask them to switch your internet service over to the Motorola. They'll need a MAC address off the Motorola. They enter it on their end and then you'll be online with DOCSIS 3 again in about 2 minutes.

I'm posting this over the same setup. The installer unhooked my Motorola and hooked everything to the Arris, but I wasn't too happy with the performance of the Arris on the internet side, so I added the Motorola back into the mix and am quite happy with the results.

Sorry about the double post. Anyways, any Suddenlink Tech or anyone have an answer and response to what I said? I kinda need a response as soon as possible as the person on ebay selling the modem is saving it for me and waiting for a response back. Thanks!

I understand but it also says in parenthesis comcast/xfinity...so I wasn't sure if it is used only for Comcast/Xfinity or it can still be used on Suddenlinks network.
