- Pradeep > Let met just check if I got your concern correctly. You've mentioned that you want to return existing modem. Am I correct?

- need a modem. and I may want to upgrade to x1 some day.
- Pradeep > Thank you for the information.
- Pradeep > I would like to inform you that modem fee would cost you same wether you are using modem or wireless gateway.

- gateway...with or without X1

- that I need to upgrade?
- Pradeep > Yes, you need to upgrade your current modem. Your modem is outdated and you may face speed problem in future.
- ERIC_ > Can you point me to any information regarding that, because that is not what I am reading in the forums...In fact to the
- contrary I am reading that this new one is causing many people problems.
- ERIC_ > And if so, so you have a modem to replace it that I can use with my own wireless router?
- Pradeep > I want to make sure that your issue will be dealt with expertise however your chat has been routed to my department that

- Kenneth > I see, but don't you want the free speedboost?
- Kenneth > May I know the make and model of your wifi router?
- Kenneth > It could be that our gateway modem has a faster connection.
- ERIC_ > I"ll look into that, but I am also wondering if you have the option of a different modem. I am happily using a a ASUS Dualband
- Gigabit
- Kenneth > Wow!
- Kenneth > Now that is one hell of a router!
- Kenneth > Awesome!
- ERIC_ > it's a rt-AC 66R
- ERIC_ > Yes, and I don't want to have another wifi defise broadcasting in the same room
- Kenneth > We have also our top end router, a dual band and gigabit modem/router too it's Cisco DP3939
- ERIC_ > I've got everything set up, I don't want to change my router.
- Kenneth > I see, thank you for confirming, I have another option for you.
- Kenneth > This can also save you money, would you like to listen?
- ERIC_ > ok
- Kenneth > Okay, here's my suggestion since you own a router already, why don't you return the new gateway you have and your old
- modem at our service center, purchase a new modem that's docsis 3.0 compatible, then save $8 a month and enjoy the 25mbps
- speeds combination to your gigabit router.
- Kenneth > This is my recommended modem:http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net/device.php?devid=365
- Kenneth > It's cheap and does the job.
- Kenneth > It's 3 star certified by comcast too.
- Kenneth > You can check the price via amazon.
- ERIC_ > Thanks, this is looking like I am going in the right direction now..no telephony though...Although I'm not sure that is a deal
- breaker...
- Kenneth > Let me check for telephony compatible modems.
- Kenneth > Here's our full list by the way: http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net/
- ERIC_ > Thanks..this is just what I wanted out of this chat session..
- Kenneth > You can check out the details there.
- Kenneth > I see, thank you so much for your time, Eric.
- Kenneth > Your satisfaction is my priority. Is there anything else I can assist you with? I am more than glad to help you out further.
- ERIC_ > No, I think this is perfect...I'll go through this in the next few days..Please note on my record that I will probably be returning
- the Technicolor in a few days.
