Cox's New PW7, 4331 vs Arris DG2460
OK, the tests are in. I upgraded my services and was sent a 4331 modem, I didn't really want. To be fair, since most of my previous hands on testing was on the 4141 modem, (PW6), and this was the new...

When I decide to upgrade, will probably look hard at the Netgear CAX80. Will make sure I get one that can be returned if after testing I find out it isn't what it's cracked up to be. Whatever I get will have a USB port so I can use a USB drive on it. Either that, or possible an Arris G36, or wait for the G54. Or Docsis 4
LOL. You and those combos. However DOCSIS 4.0 does interest me. Any mention of it at CES?
Wasn't able to make CES this year, maybe next year, but from what I know, d4.0 modems should become available in the first quarter of this year. Hope to hear more on it from some friends of mine though.
I would love to go to CES but afraid I am a east coaster. However I meant had you seen anything about it online? I googled around and found this interesting article.
But back to your OP, are you downgrading your service? I assumed your current gateway was no longer compatible with the speed.
My discount plan was for 1 year, up on Feb 15th, so time to get a new plan. Same Internet, same phone service, bundled, Preferred HSI and phone service - 69$ a month. I am saving 10$ actually. HOWEVER, they shipped me the pano PW7 modem. I gave it the benefit of the doubt, seeing Technicolor had purchased Cisco home modems, the dpq3212 and such, BUT their WiFi, either due to their programming or antenna materials has ALWAYS been second and third rate. My modem is just fine up to 500 MB, it's a 24x8 channel modem, so it's gonna be good for 250 mbps, easily. When I HAVE to replace it though, well... It's still a tossup.
