 I tried calling support after and they told me they need to send a tech out and that I would be charged. I am leasing equipment!  Cant I just please get a modem sent to me? My downloads and uploads are Great.

  • Got my new modem. Everything installed properly and is working fine. Yes I have a receive light again! Here is my speed test result. Not bad considering it is raining pretty good here.Thanks again Liz! You are Super!

  • Good morning Bob,

     

    Thanks for posting, I can certainly send you a modem. Please expect a new one this week.

      Thanks Liz! I appreciate this. I just couldnt justify paying for a service call when my system is getting above average up and download speeds. Not having a receive light has been driving me nuts.When I am watching tv or doing something else I would always glance over to see if there was activity on my modem.If my receive light was blinking I always knew there was unauthorized downloading going on. You are the best!

        Hi Robert,

        Thanks! I totally understand, do let me know how the new modem works out for you. Please don't forget to return your old modem in the box the new one comes in; the return label should be in the outer pouch.
