Is this a cable modem?

[DieHardware]

Radioshack Canada is selling a "Videotron with external modem", what the heck is it? Anyone have one? Is it an external cable modem?...ethernet or USB? Thanks

It's a cable modem. Not sure who makes it for Radio Shack though.

Yep Yep....it is a cable modem. It looks very similar to the RCA ones we used to install. Can't say that is who actually makes it though.

i did some googling and found that Videotron appears to be a cable provider in canada. so i'm assuming it is made by them.

Turns out Videotron is a cable company in Quebec, so this might be useful to subscribers of their service. Hehe nihil beat me.

they were also recently bought out or are contracting now through a larger company. i'm not sure of the name though but it seems videotron was in some serious debt for a while after being put out by their larger competitors.

My ISP is Videotron and this is a cable modem that is needed to connect to their service.

Of course when you purchase the modem fron Radio Shack you also have to subscribe to the ISP.
