just because the protocol is doesn't mean ISP's want new customers or lines using 3.0. Unless you're already a customer with a 3.0 modem servicing your line, it's unlikely they will push to legacy versions.
how the frick do you even get modern ISPs to accept you using a new modem? Even if you aren't paying a rental fee they make you go through eight rounds of cbt just to use your own equipment just to tell you its incompatible and won't tell you what is wrong with it or what to get instead.
The reason most ISP push their own "modems" is often for firmware patching, ease of troubleshooting as they can log directly in to run their test tools, asset tracking, and so on.
The modem itself is generally a dumb device but ISP's like to push an all-in-one for a slew of reasons.
Some ISPs have a modem whitelist so you need to make sure your modem is on it first.
Depends most the whitelists are just confirm tested equipment rather than only allowed if X.

From a technical perspective it's meaningless, it's more a management/business thing in terms of charging people who fail to return equipment and bulk ordering for discounts on equipment.

They don't charge for equipment returns anymore.
t. switched to fiber and the cable company said to just take the modem to a recycle facility.
Also, it doesn't matter if it's customer provided equipment or not, we'll know what your MAC is and it'll be attached to your account so it's not hard to track anything lol.

Sorry I took a nap. We can figure out your IP yes, because we assign it to you dynamically and have the tools to compare.
They're doing some upgrades on their local networks right now, us non-modem-renter peons have to wait until everything is rolled out to the paying customers. I'm stuck with 1.2G down 45 up as well.
Before I was using a hacked modem and added it to my account which is dumb as hell but I got away with it. Back then 60mbit was the highest speed on Spectrum. I would pay for 1mbit at only $20 per month and force the 60mbit config on my modem.
No. No guesses for you.
What are you guessing anon?
>DOCSIS 3.0
Good luck finding an ISP that still does that in the US, most all moved to 3.1.
its backward compatible you moron

I have multigig fiber.
Don't guess. I have fiber. I need none of that cable modem shit.
I had the wi-fi version of that modem back in 2010.
>let me guess
>indians buy the cheapest garbage
yes, they do, congrats
It's not even that cheap
>$50 isn't that cheap
......PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH let me guess, you're from europe?

tfw 500/100 in ND coax for 35.99/mo

>tfw in AL and the highest my ISP offers is 1.2Gbps but I have the 1Gbps at 50 Biden bucks per month.
What? You just call and say I want to use my own modem, or say it when they come to install.
I just use the one from comcast, it was cheaper to rent it and have included unlimited data than pay for unlimited data on its own.
probably some scam where they are able to throttle your speeds but only if you are using their backdoored modem
>t. schizo
They can do that regardless of what modem you have.

I have actual fiber internet with symmetrical speeds. I have no use for this crap. Have fun with your shitty upload speed.
no 2.5Gbps port
/thread
2.5G WAN is the absolute minimum now. Hope your LAN is ready for 10G :^)
I changed to a 3.1 DOCSIS 2.5G compatible modem a year ago and Comcast still won't accept the 2.5 connection

3.1 or frick off. As far as I know 3.0 doesn't work on a pure 3.1 network.

holy shit ameriBlack folk are africatier
WTF that's my modem
why would you buy your own modem and not just attach a router to the ISP-provided one?
