Well,,, Trin's isp calls the other day, say's his trusty old modem needs upgraded... Or else... Trin will miss his ol' Motorola surfboard. And this new one is 1/2 the size of the old one and seems much cheaper. I have 8mbs service btw. share pic's of you modems here, trin wants to see!
when i just moved into the apartment, i got the white surfboard just like yours. but my line was bad and i called time warner, they layed new cables and change it to the newer black surfboard modems. hmm pic? . have to wait!!
Hmm...this thread belongs to Internet and Networking, me thinks... I will take a picture of mine tomorrow!
At least yours is a surfboard. They took my beefy surfboard and gave me some modem branded 'Arris'. And the thing I don't like the most is that this one requires a wall wart. I have a ton of those already!
Well, you may move the thread if you want... But trin still want's pictures of all your modems... Thanks btw...
haha wall wart (I hid all of those behind my cd case). I have an Arris cable modem (and phone on it too) from Commie-cast. I'll take a pic tomorrow I guess (if I can remember) of my network stuff.
Yeah wall warts... Trin is up to 8 of those things now! (in his desktop area) God only knows how many in the whole house. There outta be a law against those things.
