it's not gonna keep me from switching

comcast can do anything they want, when FIOS is available in my area I'm dropping comcast broadband like a hot potato.

They have one chance to keep my business: match or exceed FIOS speed at a lower price. And I mean $5 or $10/month lower, not $0.50 or $1 lower. Even then I might not stay with comcast.

Re: it's not gonna keep me from switching

I woke up this morning to no internet connection.
I had an AMBIT 6067, the black flat one with Comcast on
the front of it.
I called Comcast and they said I had to return the modem for
a new one.
I was curious as to why, when my net connection was working
last night.
The tech said they were upgrading the area and some of the
modems weren't taking new config files.
So I returned the AMBIT 6067 and got a black Motorola
Surfboard SB5120.
When I got it home, they pushed a new config file, and
I was back online.
I had a bit of trouble getting the router to work, but
unplugging both for a minute and plugging them back in
modem first, then router, then booting the PC fixed it.

I'm curious as to what I'm being upgraded to, since I
already have the 8MB service.

How do I see the new configuration and does anyone know
of any free speed increases in the works besides Powerboost?

Is this it? it looks like it is a DOCSIS 1.0 modem.

The surfboard looks to be DOCSIS 1.1 and 2.0 certified.
