Speed slower with new modem

Click for full size
I have been having connection issues with frequent disconnects so yesterday a tech came out out to replace my webstar with an old sb4200. Connection issue resolved BUT my download is now 1/2 of what it used to be Called comcast a sec ago and CSR said that everything looked fine. Hmmmm I used to get almost 8 megs down with the webstar and the sb4200 isn't cutting it for the new speeds it seems. Is the 4200 new speed compatible even????

Kkart-
On the same modem page you got that info from - click on the HELP tab - and it should show you your firmware version at the top of the page.

Re: Speed slower with new modem

Your modem has DOCSIS 1.0 firmware which can limit your download speed. Call tech support to see if they can update it to a DOCSIS 1.1 firmware or consider a new modem.

Hopefully they won't bring you another older modem.

You ain't gonna believe this crap......I have just about had it now. I am calling Qwest later or a reseller for dsl, and at least look at that as an option.
Yeah they sent a tech out today, and he was a contractor. On his paperwork, it listed a equipment pickup for my DVR!!! wtf!?!??!?!? I just HAD that installed Tuesday when I had the modem swap! He didn't even have a modem with him....what the hell are the CSR's doing? I'm calling and raising holy hell. Also, he said that Bedrock has been having HUGE problems, as I figured as I was offline for a LONG time after the modem swap tuesday as provisioning was not working at all. The tech that day said Bedrock was offline......so, i'm on the 8meg gold tier, I am getting 3.3 max down on a Modem that's ancient and only has 1.0 firmware. What the heck is going on Comcast!?!?!??!? Oh, the tech also gave me the # for the central office here LOL I like this guy lol

Just swapped out modems, they have me a 5100, which I am iffy on as I had trouble with one before. As long as it remains stable. Fastest tech I have seen, 3 minutes flat lol
