my previous Linksys cable modem start have issue -lrb- so I think -rrb- and I need a replacement . after read all the review I decide on the cm100 and I be very happy with it so far . it turn out what need to be replace be the cable company 's cable modem which they do just before the new one arrive . it would ahve be nice if they have own up to it before I buy a new modem , but there be a huge benefit to ditch my old one . once the new one arrive , I decide to use it anyway and be reward with a increase in speed . I be get about 2.5 mb\/384mb down\/up and with the new one I be now get 6.5 mb\/1 .0 mb down\/up . its well worth the investment . also the status page at -lrb- ... -rrb- have more detail than the older model I be use and include the log .
