Hi All
I'm having a discussion with my son who just got hooked up with Charter in
northern Nevada and the lady at the cable company told him the speed he bought
is 25 Mbps
and she told him he had to have a double throw down modem for this and of
coarse for a fee they will provide it. So I told him about a Zoom modem I could
get at Fry's for $55.00.
well he bought a Motorola at Best Buy for $95.00, I told him the Zoom was
faster than his cable and the DOCSIS 3.0 wasn't going to get him any more
speed than a DOCSIS 2.0 unit. Who is right here? Below is the specs for the
two.
Motorola $95.00
* DOCSIS / EuroDOCSIS 3.0-certified
* Channel bonding of up to 4 downstream and 4 upstream channels increasing
data rates of well over 100 Mbps in each direction
* 1 GHz capable tuners
* Supports IPv4 and IPv6 to expand network addressing capabilities
Zoom $55.00
* Supports DOCSIS 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0
* Delivers speeds up to 42Mbps
* Flexible installation on either a USB or Ethernet port
* Includes both USB and Ethernet cables
* May be positioned either vertically or horizontally
*works with all popular cable services including Adelphia, Cablevision,
Charter, Comcast, Cox, Insight, Mediacom and Time Warner
* Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Unix compatible
