They claim my Motorola Surfboard 6141 is not compatible anymore.

This says otherwise.

And you think Comcast wouldn't lie to you, just to get you off the phone?

They told me that my old Motorola SB5100 waS OBSOLETE and that I should upgrade to a DOCIS 3.0 modem for better FASTER speed and better reliability and that I was slowing down the network????

I went to best buy and bought a 6141 for about $65 to avoid paying the $8 per month comcast rental fee.

I tried for 4 months to get that problematic modem to work - hard wired, with & without my time capsule, with & without my airport express, with & without my router - it work beautifully for a couple days and then connection issues - wouldn't work at all or I would get dial up speed or less

I EVEN PUT THEIR TEIR TWO TECH SUPPORT ON SPEED DIAL to avoid talking to the scripted idiots from India.

They think it is a wiring problem inside or near the house but my internet (and TV) worked 98% OF THE TIME WITH THE OLD MODEM???

One day - I finally decide to hook my old modem - works about 95% of the time but sometimes I need to restart my Airport express.
