Modem Replacements for Legacy Users?

Curious, with the HT1100 being phased out over time in favor of the HT2200w, what will happen in the following scenario? -Customer is a Gen4 Subscriber -Customer wont upgrade to Gen5 plan -Custo...

    Oh. Ok, got some clarification from some engineers. So the HT2000w is basically the standard modem for Gen 4, that model works fine on Gen 4. I don't know if you remember, but we released the HT2000w before Gen 5 was available. So HT200ws work fine with Gen 4; if your HT1100 dies, we can send you the latest model. Does that answer your question?

Definitely count me in on the "what if".

 

PS: Kind of shocked if Gen4 Jupiter 1 is considered "legacy" but whatever. Would like to hear official position on that detail.

    Hi C0RR0SIVE,

     

    I think it would be a long time before we stop issuing HT1100s, but that is an interesting question, thanks for posting! There hasn't been any discussion yet, at least with us, regarding end of life for the HT1100s, so I can send this question up to see if there's anything management can share. I'll let you know what we hear back.

      I hope good news comes back, would be a nice option for those that want to keep their Gen4 plans, stay on ES17 and get those modems. >.>

        I totally understand. Still trying to get a concrete answer for you all. At least that scenario is a long way down the road...
