[marill999]

dont forget shipping costs!

 

[Danzilla]

Yeah, what about shipping? I've seen Amazon really sticks it to you sometimes.
Also, it's only DOCSIS 1.0 on the Amazon page. Actually, on the buy.com page it says 1.0, software upgradable to 1.1, 😉 which should be the same with the one from amazon (they are exactly the same, right?).

New ones seem to be going for less on Ebay.

Actually this modem has been on sale around this price with/without
rebates for around 6-7 months now.

The price is so cheap because
1. It does not work with ALL cable ISP's. A lot of us could not get it
to work with att (back when they were using @home) in jul '01. I had to
return it.

2. 3com is out of the cable modem business. They will honor the warranty
though.

So, if it works with your provider it is a good deal else ....

*DEAD* DEAL

If someone would pm me a link or a copy of the most recent buy.com rebate for this modem, I'd be most grateful...can't seem to dig it up.

Best, Dave

Does anybody know if it'll work with comcast's ISP? In the Michigan Oakland County area? (Troy) It'd be nice to get one for the price and lower my family's monthly rate. Or maybe there's a site somewhere with a list of compatibility?
