Comcast is sending me a new, super-duper, bells & whistles, DOCSIS modem. They tell my that my Com21 is non-DOCSIS and that they will not support it and I need to be ready for the NEXT generation of wonderful things to come.
My question is this: Will my old modem still work after 10/07/2002? I don't care if they support it or not so long as it works and gives me an internet connection.
They are removing the head end equipment that supports the non-DOCSIS modems. That may not happen on exactly the date they say, but it will go away, and you will have to install the DOCSIS modem.
