changing cable modems

[otispunkmeyer]

right now i have a NTL home100 cable modem, you wont know it because its just some generic box that NTL gave us.

we have 4Mbit down, 400kbit up at the moment, and i dont think the modem actually goes any higher than 5 or maybe 8mbit.

now i wouldnt mind upgrading to 10mbit at some point, and ive managed to pick up, for free, the latest NTL home 250 cable modem, which is capable of 10mbit +

if i change them, will my internet still work as it is now? will i still get 4mbit? will everything screw up because of a chane in MAC address?

thanks

I would expect that it would still work the same. As with most ISPs, you will most likely have to call and register the MAC of the new modem to get it to work with your connection.
