[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3110094, member: 29706"] Seems like they are really pushing to get everything to DOCSIS 3.1. Why do I say that well they sent out a letter today offering to upgrade the modem for free. Looked over the "fine print" and it is legit, cash price would have been 180 with a 20 dollar self install kit with a discount on both and zero on monthly fees for a 0.00 total price. No monthly fees lined out and no fees to pay today so I pulled the trigger on it. Looks like it will probably be an Arris cm8200 but I don't see an issue with it really.
