Owned Modem comcast speed upgrade any problems?

[daveh505@comcast.net]

In my area ,Las Cruces NM, Comcast has upgraded the speed of uploading and down loading. In the email that alrted us it has a proceedure to reboot vour system before the system can go faster. There is a place at the bottom of the dialog box to click on to check your modem to see if it is a DOCSIS3.0modem.
As I understand it my modem needs to be compliant with this standard to take advantage of the new speeds.
My question is: if my modem is not a DOCSIS3.0modem what path do I take to comply so I can use the extra speed , short of renting one from comcast. mine has been paid for in triple from not renting thiers. or is there an alternative?

Just go to Best Buy or any store that sells cable modems and buy one...

Many are having pretty good luck with the Zoom 5341J and the Motorola Surfboard models: 6121, 6141
Be aware of the problems Comcast has been having in many areas with older lines. http://forums.comcast.com/t5/Basic-Internet-Connectivity-And/bd-p/5

To confirm others opinions, you can continue to use your existing modem, but will not receive any speed upgrades via firmware. You must purchase a new modem that is d3 to utilize the new speeds. I personally dont like the zoom modems, but its all opinion, id go with either ubee or motorola
