    Hi everyone. I currently have Time Warner as my ISP and at the end of June, Time Warner will shut down my internet because our linksys modem is no longer supported by the manufacturer; unless we get a new one. So when looking for a new one, they gave us a list of approved modems:

    The thing is, i'm not sure which one to get. Two of the modems on this page have DOCSIS 3.0 and i'm not sure we even need that because our data speed is 10 Mbps. Isn't DOCSIS 3.0 for speeds of 30+ Mbps? I just don't know what specs to look for in a modem. Can you help? Thanks!

    Might ask the tech. Currently not happy with them myself. I cant change password, they have router locked down. Other issues with consistent speed, etc. I would use what they suggest so you can blame them later. We are having trouble streaming Netflix, etc and we are paying for top tier internet plan. Time Warner. Ugh.
