It's acceptable if you have the 100 mbps speed, but if you are signed up for a faster speed, replace it as quick as you can.
It's a telephone modem, if you have Cox telephone service, it's provided at no cost, if not, you are renting the modem, and upgrading will not cost you any more money. Upgrade to the Arris TM3402, trust me you will smile!
