Re: Sick of the Slow Speeds I would say if hes going anywhere where he can get cable he should get the modem, as it is backwards compatible.
But that's just me. |

My 6120 died yesterday, so I went to Staples. They had the Zoom and I almost bought it until I called Metrocast. The tech support person did not recommend it. |

If you want to stick with Motorola, they have the SBG6580 which is 8-channel, but has the built in wireless router and a 4 port switch (eh). Motorola also has the SB6141 or SB6180, but I don't see them on BB or Staples or Newegg, but they are on Ebay.

| I keep seeing you guys talking about upgrading modems... I guess if I'm a phone and internet subscriber I'm out of luck doing that since there is a combo-box? I forget the proper name for the box that interfaces both internet and phone. |

Even back in the old BBS days of the 80's and 90's, ZOOM had a CRAPPY rep for modems. Nice to see they still carry that rep! |

Calera, AL | With a ping of 144ms, I would try a different server first.
I would try Boston > Towerstream, as that is a decent server speed/ping wise. |
