You had broadband in early '95? Who was your provider, MediaOne? We didn't get BB in NB till '98, I think it was.

They are all the same!!!

Dont worry about it, the MTBF (mean time before failure) on these devices suck.

It is not like you are buying a high end switch or router...the cheaper the better.

They all must run the DOCSIS protocol and there are no "extra features" that you can configure.

The one advantage of getting your modem froma cable company is that they will replace it for free....but you have to pay them so much per month.

I know that M1 started up in 96 in the towns around Needham (worked on the project when it first started)...plust DOCSIS was not around until much later around '99
