So EOL doesn't always mean it's gone. It's more like XP. Use it but don't expect support.
I've seen folk push back on this so a nod to dslreport forums if you want to go over this again.
Hello folks. Yesterday while discussing my inferior Comcast Internet speed with them, they declared my Motorola Surfboard SB6121 at end of life (EOL). It's specs are a DOCSIS 3.0, 802.11ac etc. My speed test shows about 45Mbps down and about 12Mbps up. I was told by them that they are providing 75Mbps, anyway. I was told I should get a new modem, but they could not explain to me why, when my modem supports download up to 343Mbps, they suggested a DOCSIS 3.1, the specs say it's 10x faster that DOCSIS 3.0. I don't think a new modem will speed up my Internet connection, and for $175 give or take, I will be wasting my money. My question is; do I really need a new modem to speed up my connection. I don't think so, and I'm a software engineer. Thanks, Jay
