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.

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,

Wow! That's great! Thanks so much for letting me know that all is well again. I'm glad to have helped. 🙂
