Hi Everyone,
I currently have an older docsis 2.0 modem and I get a lot of bandwidth changes. I will go from 0.3 Mbps and within a couple minutes go up to 28 Mbps. I get dropped from games I'm playing or Netflix while I'm watching it and at times I will get insane speeds (much higher than what I pay for). I figured someone in the area was using up lots of bandwidth, but when I called Cox Cable (my ISP) the rep on the phone pointed out that I'm using a 2.0 modem and they're on a 3.0 system. He mentioned it might make a difference.
My question is: By using a docsis 2.0 modem am I potentially causing problems like I have described by not using a docsis 3.0 modem? I bought a new router which I'm happy with. I have tried not using a modem, but I get the same problems.
Thanks,
J
