re: Buying a modem instead of renting one from TW

quote:

I have TW and live in Austin. I had that one or one very similar. I upgraded to 200/20 plan and my modem would only get 100/10 which is what I had before. Techs said only TW modem could get 200/20 speed and up regardless of what the modem specs say. Keep that in mind if you are in that tier. Definitely test it out. Otherwise though I had no issues with mine at 100/10 speeds.

there is a higher model to the 6141 that supports that speed.

i am a TW customer and i purchased my own modem a few years back on amazon. i only had the 20mb plan so i purchased a refurb docsis 2.0 modem for like $25. It was well worth the investment. I recently upgraded to a refurb 6121 for $45 as i changed my TW plan to 50mb.
