Would be willing to switch out my modem even though there is nothing wrong with it?

It's a RCA DCM 215 almost six years old in another week.

probably not.. but you could just unhook it and call them and say your unit wont power up.. they will come out with a new unit and if your lucky switch it.

Call and find out. I bet they would...if they've been deploying speed upgrades in your area.

Comcast?

If you you can jsut go to a local comcast office and swap it out.

Bring in the modem and power cord.

DO NOT CALL AND FIND OUT.

Call and complain that they have not updated you to proper equipment.

If you need motivation, your boss was trained by Adelphia.

But hey look on the bright side, you'll be under Time Warner or Comcast soon, didnt Adelphia get bought out?

Probably not worth the hassle. Especially since I do not know what type of Modem I will get in return.

Never know unless you try!

Old modem may be slowing you down...new Docsis 2 modem might bring on speed increase!
