Before you buy the new modem, you might wanna PM netcool and ask him if your area is 16 channel enabled. He'll need your modem's HFC MAC address if memory serves. It can be found on the sticker on the modem. »netcool

Good luck. My area is still 8/3 and the new modem would do me no good. I hope it's different for you.

You didn't say anything about how much throughput you're expecting to use...

My 5341j is sufficient for me because it can handle the 105mbps Comcast is delivering to me. I don't see a benefit if I use a 16x4 modem if I'm expecting to get the same 105mbps.
