So far I am happy with the switch too, although it took me some effort to get my home ethernet working properly after the installation - but that was mostly due to my own lack of knowledge of networking. Soon I will have a Netgear CM600 that I used with Comcast to give away, but I want to hang onto it for a bit just in case the CenturyLink connection blows up. I don't trust new things right away. :) I am getting ~750 down and ~900 up, using the speedtest web browser GUI. CenturyLink told me they guarantee at least 85% of what I am paying for, so I could call and bitch about the ~750 down, but it isn't a big enough deal to me. I just paid my first bill. I thought I needed to agree to autopay in order to get the promotional price ($70 + recovery fee $3.99), but in today's mail I got a paper statement. I just paid it with my bank's bill pay feature. The bill was actually $86.76 because I signed up for their $9.99 a month modem rental, intending to return it and buy my own as soon as I can figure out what to buy. The paperwork says their modem is a Model Number: C2100T. There is another device in addition to the modem, but I don't know what it is. Someone here posted that they had bought a modem for CenturyLink gigabit for $50 somewhere, but I can't find the message now. Advice would be appreciated. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
