The units in this sale are being sold as open box condition. That means that they have been opened due to being a photo sample, a tested good customer return or having damaged packaging. Some non-essential items may be missing from the box. The unit may not be shipped in retail packaging. That is the reason for the reduced sale price and the reduced warranty.

Please Note: These modems are factory refurbished, so at one point your modem may have been operating in someone’s house before it was re-worked. In some rare cases our friends at the cable company may not have removed the MAC id address from their system. So why does that matter? Well, in some very isolated situations, we have seen the cable company deny activation on a refurbished modem. It has only happened a few times, but if you happen to be one of the “lucky ones”, relax, and know that you can email us immediately and we will make it right for you no matter what.

What Is DOCSIS 3.0?
With the DOCSIS 3.0 specification, cable Internet providers can take advantage of the extra capacity provided by channel-bonding technology in order to offer ultra-fast broadband services. Channel bonding allows parallel data pipes to act as a single broadband conduit.

Currently, cable providers max out at around 50 Mbps of downstream data throughput, but DOCSIS 3.0 will enable cable Internet providers to continue to improve the speed of their networks.
