Modem

Call your ISP.

First, is your ...idiotic use of color and bold deliberate?

And while heat may be the number 1 killer of modems, keep in mind most people just cram them somewhere with little to no ventilation.

Right, call your ISP. They'll make you rent one of their modems, which could arguably be better at a lower initial cost. It could also be worse.

Are there any specific features you want? Do you feel like you're being limited by it in some way? Are you not getting your advertised speed/bandwidth? If the answer to all of these is "no", don't worry about it until it dies.

Yes. At first I thought you're just a rude person who types aggressively over the internet for self compensation of status.
this comes to mind now.

Hes right. Same said Cable company employee does have "horror" stories of people putting tin foil on their equipment to keep the government from spying on them, or electronic equipment buried under magazines or cats... ya, cats. Modems are just poorly designed. If youve scraped one out of the closet from times past, its definitely not going to hurt to ask about a newer model, then shove the old n trusty back into the closet.

Once Mike told me he entered a home where the homeowner was so concerned for dust, he made a hanging system from the ceiling, comprised of wire coat hangers stretched out, and hooking on the bottom of wood or cardboard... thinking he was avoiding the dust in the room.

I like the colour green, what's wrong with it?

And am I wrong in thinking a modem is a modem? I'm using a piece of crap from my ISP which works a treat at 15meg/s (I'm in countryside in UK so getting those speeds is miraculous).

The only thing I'll add is my ISP (SKY) "hides" the broadband username and password, which basically means you need to download a tool to decypher it. So maybe check on that too.

Nyah, I broke your color tags.

Nah, I'm not like that. I just think you're a bit of an idiot at times, but that could have more than one root...cause. I'm a rather jaded individual on some things. I'm a judgmental asshole, I admit it. At least you don't carry on like Sam Deathwalker.

Green is fine, I just see no point in having all of your posts in green, or bold, or whatnot. As far as I'm concerned a modem is just a modem, and if it's working fine and you're getting advertised bandwidth keep on using it.

SKY - Believe in better - Riiiiiiiiight. Never trust telecom.

tld;r if it ain't broke don't fix it.
