I have Comcast and I was never told that I need a DOCSIS 3.0 Motorola modem.
Mine is a Cisco/Linksys DOCSIS 2.0 certified model.
Everything is working fine.
Is that a local requirement?

i have no idea man lol, all i was told was docsis 3.0 is what runs the 50mb/s and if wanted to be routed it has to be a N router. so they gave us all of that and now there is a light show going on in the room with the modem and router lol

Docsis 3.0 allows for upstream and downstream channel bonding allowing for even higher throughput.

well just finished up with the dude, we had bunch of noise. so he ran new wires and splitters all from outside to under the house. checked it went from -59db to 0db :) tested internet to find no difference. we checked the internet on another computer that was wired, and come to find that it was the computer itself with the slow problem. the other computer got a whoppin 65mb/s lol. so i tried mine again to still find that im getting 12-20mb/s

so after i was told that it had to be the NIC card on the computer then i was like well shit. that sucks. so he left. i started messing around with it. make sure its not just the ethernet cable or router port or drivers. found nothing. well the only thing i could think of is how about the firewall. i uninstalled it to find out my fears were true. the firewall slowed me down. alot. tada 50mb/s baby WOO lol

O yea and FUCK Comcast!
Hell even ATT sucks ass, but I can tell them to go fuck themselves because I make their techs sound like fuckin dumbass's over the phone, normally if I have issues, they get me the engineers.
