It took about 3 1/2 weeks to complete, but I'm now upgraded.

1.5 / 128

I had a different ISP ( needed static IP ).

It took that long to cancel service with ISP - clear line - get new modem - re-provision line - wait for activation day............. :rolleyes:

BUT !!!! ......... they told me it would be PPPoe :(

SURPRISE !!!!! ......it remained DHCP :D
