Standard sss or Fitzgerald <| sep |> The only obligations I have are to rescue my friend from her inlaws at some asyetunnamed juncture and buy dog food . And to read a bunch of student applications , but technically I said they ' d get them back by Monday . I didn ' t specify a time on Monday . <| sep |> Suggest calling CC Tech Support and ask for and hold out for a Level 1 or 2 Tech . Discuss your issues , your impending Gig install and concerns and ask them what modem they recommend . I just purchased an Arris SurfBoard 6190 Modem from Amazon which has 32 down and 8 up channels , which is supposed to be good for 1 . 4 Gig over copper cable . It currently bonds with 24 Down Channels in my area which should easily handle a Gig no sweat . Suggest you ask the Level 1 or 2 Tech for him phone or email and keep them as a resource . that ' s what I did . Best !
