Guest philp Posted June 24, 2005 CID Share Posted June 24, 2005 just out of curiosity do ne of u ever have problems with ur Earthlink cable modem? i never ever had a problem with it. its been running the same as when i got it. i was checkin out dsl and cable modem packages online and i found this state that has dsl or cable modem available to them with no limit. the guy was like u can download as fast as ur modem. is that true???? why cant time warner do that? What modem do you have? I started off with the Toshiba PCX 2000 and it was cool until they went to the 5 meg download speed. Then I was having intermittent problems with my connection. I changed it to an Ambit modem & everything seems to be right in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most modems are speed rated pretty equally, but in other terms of docsis 1, 2 etc, that may be a different story. Changing the modem may change stability and behavior of your connections, but the speed will not (shouldnt) change , since its still going to be using the same config file from your ISP.

My old modem worked well when it worked, but I don't think it could handle the (then) recent speed increase. Shortly after Earthlink went from 3 to 5 megs, I started having connection problems and the modem was hot to the touch. I could still get 4.9 meg DL's when it worked, though. The new Ambit modem is considerably cooler and works just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
