True dat. I gots all kinds of spare network stuffs and $20 for a spare DOCSIS 3.0 modem is a good idea indeed.

Sigh... Pay for 100 Mbps, get 50. Drop to 50, get <25 Mbps.

It should be noted that Motorola is the gold standard for residential cable modems but for $20 this is a REALLY good modem and if I had to buy a modem today I wouldn't hesitate to buy this one. I mean, for $20 you can't go wrong compared to paying Comcast $8/mo for their modem which is on par with this one.

lol no, definitely not (when the test was ran at least). ARIN even shows my IP registered as Comcast Colorado

CIDR	24.8.0.0/15
Name	COLORADO-10

I'll message you.

Mine doesn't look that great either.

Not free, they've been sneaking rates up all year.

What modem are you chaps using? You might have an older modem only capable of those speeds which means your leaving speed on the table that you're paying for. Hence the DOCSIS 2.0 v DOCSIS 3.0 talk. It applies to you.

Had to do a RESET. Power cycle wasn't cutting it.
