War_Dawg Posted January 28, 2006 CID Share Posted January 28, 2006 We currently have the modem that our internet provider gave us (it said it was made by Scientific Atlanta and is called webstar). I was just wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade to a better modem (assuming that the one they gave us is a piece of junk)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
