[TriLUG] TWC Cable Modem requirement for +30Mbps

[Keith Woodie]

When I changed over to the higher broadband plan I got the ubee router
(btw don't use as your main wireless access point.... truly poor
performance and connectivity over time).  I use the ubee router in
"Bridge" mode (just like a standard modem) and have a Apple Airport
Extreme handling my wireless.

I have heard there is a Motorola DOCSIS 3.0 router that Time Warner
installs occasionally which provides wireless + the rock solid
surfboard modem performance, but I don't have it nor have I seen it.

I am wondering if they can make the speed change via new modem config w/out replacing my existing modem.  I know they replaced my cable modem a couple of years ago that supported (at that time) higher speeds.  Currently, I have the Motorola SurfBoard SB5101 cable modem running s/w vers: "SB5101-2.8.5.0-GA-03-501-NOSH"
