Re: [Plan] XI Gigabit DOCSIS 3.1 - data cap with 3-year agreement? Comcast just arrived to start installing the Docsis 3.1 trial. He had some work to do outside, before coming in. I have confirmed use of the Technicolor modem (it is all black with an Xfinity branding). Surprisingly, the service comes with a new Netgear Nighthawk AC3200 gateway that is included in the $70/month price. Photos will be coming soon.

Vineland, NJ 1 edit 2 recommendations Gunny123 Member I wouldn't think so. As long as you have a capable router like my third gen Airport Extreme. I think it can push 1.4 Gbps



Then again it is a "trial" so I bet Comcast can make you do certain things despite

No, you do not as long as your router can handle the speed.

Re: [Plan] Re: XI Gigabit DOCSIS 3.1 - data cap with 3-year agreement? You; I, and everyone else currently using CC internet, had "Unlimited Usage" we are able to use as much, and as often as we want. But, you are not allowed to use all the 'Data' that you think this applies.. So, do not fall for the; sure you can, nonsense. People on this site can tell you what ever you want to hear. If you do not have this in writing, before you agree, good luck after the 30 day money grab....

Interesting, haven't seen a picture of that modem yet. Looks like lots of ventilation.

Well, from the chart Franken posted back on 7/8 - seems legit that they were planning on 24 DS at 3.0 and the 1 OFDM block. Looks like Justin will have to update the speed test...hahahah.

It is basically 6.75" x 6.75" x 1.5". Unfortunately, it cannot sit on its side.

It will be interesting to see if/how the D3.1 modem's displays show that. OK, yes, it could be bonding a number of D3.0 256QAM DS channels with the D3.1 OFDM subcarriers block right now.It will be interesting to see if/how the D3.1 modem's displays show that.

I cannot login to the web gui. If you can find the user/pass combo, I'll try it. There is no information on the Technicolor website (but I did try some of the common ones used by other Technicolor modems).
