I bought this because Time Warner Cable’s website said they did not provide a cable modem, that I would have to get one from a preferred business partner, I said screw that and found a DOCSIS 2.0, which would be even better for me & my new IMAC Dual Core Intel machine. A month later, when the local contractor service tech finally came to install the line, he told me No, we provide the modem and will bill you for it anyway. I tried checking this out beforehand, but there is NO local contact, you have to use TWC’s toll free ‘hotline’ which usually has a 10 minute wait, I called 4 times anyway and asked about it at least once and no one mentioned this. HTF was I supposed to know this?
This month, they have a new website and the old links to their ‘preferred partner’ are nowhere to be found. On TV, I see they’re pushing Quality Customer Service now. I told them just because they’re a monopoly, the didn’t have to suck SO bad.
Anyway, Electronica Direct is fantastic, but I’m not sure if they will refund this, am I now out $59???

I bought this modem refurbished. It had a comcast logo on it, which made me think that it might be stolen. It didnt work, and it made a horrendous buzzing sound right when I plugged it in. Big waste of money.

Took three weeks to get here and when it arrived was not in its original packaging. And now come to find out it doesn’t even work!
