Looks like my cable modem just went TU. Called time warner and they've put a ticket in for replacement. We had a storm blow through here earlier that may have knocked out service. Odd thing though. CATV was still working up until I noticed the modem had lost synch and now appears to be out after power cycling all the equipment.
Going out tomorrow to see if I can find my own cable modem. Any recommendations?

I have had pretty decent results with Motorola. Make sure it is DOCSIS 3.0 and don't get the modem/wireless combo. Go with just a modem and use your own wireless router.

Strangely, while I was waiting to see if my cable TV was going to come back up and making that previous post, everything came back up. I suspect there was an outage of some sort, and the tech I talked to, didn't bother to check. Just asked me questions about the modem lights, had me disconnect/reconnect the cable and then decided the modem was toast. Still gonna see if I can get rid of this Arris modem, it's the third modem since getting cable internet. Will also buy my own as a backup in case this nonsense happens again.
Thanks for the reco Exo.
What is DOCSIS?
What about this one

That's what I've been using for a few months now and it's been great. Got tired of renting an almost 9 year old modem from the cable company. Not sure what you're using now but because my old modem was ancient I saw a huge increase in speed with the new one.

DW, if what I could find is correct, then that modem is not DOCSIS3
DOCSIS stands for Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification. Which basically means its a networking standard that cable providers use to provide internet connectivity. CHeck here for more info
DOCSIS 1 is capable of 10 mbps
DOCSIS 2 is capable of 38 mbps
DOCSIS 3 is capable of 38 mbps over x number of channels, and no maximum channel defined, meaning as many channels that you can get, it can support.
If you are paying for over 40 mbps and are getting 25-38 mbps actual, chances are the cable modem is DOCSIS 2.
DW, you may just want to get a new modem for yourself and skip out on paying your ISP the 5-10 bucks a month rental charge. In less then a year, it will pay for its self.
I don't remember who you said your ISP is, but I find it odd that they would still be renting out anything under D3. Comcast kinda forced it on us. We had a D2 modem and they sent us a D3 modem and an accompanying missive saying our current modem wasnt good enough for their service. We jumped from 24 to 34 mbps just in that change. We are going to be getting our own again shortly though, and hopefully see another big jump.

Okay, thanks for sending the friends requests. I'm out of town right now, but should be back in time to accept them before the races start tonight (unless kcheeb has an opportunity to accept them beforehand).
Also, please note that you only need access to the D2 lounge since you're in Division 2. We'll accept your friend requests for Division 3 and Division 1, but if you are inactive in those accounts, you will be deleted from them in order to make sure there's room for active users in those lounges.
To find out which events take place in which lounges, please check our schedule. Again, be sure to use the accounts you have access to, or you will be deleted from them (this goes for everyone

Waxing random:
With regards to connectivity issues, what are the settings for the lounges? Race Quality, etc..Maybe they should be lowered if set to high.
Congratulations to all the drivers promoted to D4. That will mean no driving aides except ABS. Add that to the incredibly competitive racing in the division already, well all I can say is good-luck and good race craft.
Will S.N.A.I.L. need a new thread for GT6 online competitions or can this thread be moved?

Oh man! The incredibly long thread will be forced to halt, not because the league died, but because the game updated! It would be nice if they would move it for us.

Just ordered that Motorola from Amazon
The one I have now looks mostly like this
Don't know without taking down again to see what the model actually is.
This model is the eMTA which will handle internet and VOIP phone. It is a pretty decent modem but it has a little brother that looks exactly the same but is smaller and only handles internet duty. The smaller of the two are old and pretty out dated. All of Arris' new products are horrible. The Moto you are going to get is a good modem. Once you get it all set up you can usually log into the modem itself (192.168.100.1) and you should be able to see upstream/downstream signal strength and a few other odds and ends to see what kind of signal it is receiving...

Hey S.N.A.I.L.s!
S.N.O.L.R. Reminder Time.
Corner rights are an area of racing that we can all use a reminder of, especially points B: & C:. Understanding and applying the rules in this section of the S.N.O.L.R will go a long way for you in S.N.A.I.L. and racing in general.
Race Hard, Race S.N.A.I.L. 👍
07: Corner Rights:
A:
When approaching the turn/apex of turn, the car which "holds" the inner side of turn has entrance-advantage and other driver(s) must refrain from endangering him by his actions.
B:
You must establish substantial overlap with the car ahead before they reach the corners turn-in point to have the right to drive up their inside, or to expect them to leave inside room for you. At least the front of your car should be up to the drivers position in the ahead car. The ahead driver has the right to be fully committed to the racing line of their choice without any interference if there was no substantial overlap before he turned in.
C:
If sufficient overlap is established before the turn-in point, then the behind driver has the right to sufficient side room. The ahead driver must also leave sufficient side room for the behind driver. This means that each driver has a right to their respective "line", or side of the track, right up to the exit point. Neither driver should squeeze the other toward the inside or outside of the corner during the apex or exit.
D:
The turn in point is the point at which the leading car begins their turn into the cornerthis may vary from the point at which you turn into the corner.
E:
If an ahead driver has clearly made an error to warrant a passing move, a behind driver may attack their position, with due caution and care, regardless of whether there was any pre-existing overlap. However, the overtaking driver must still avoid contact. Small errors by the ahead driver may not necessarily justify a passing move. The ahead driver getting a bit out of shape at times doesnt give you an automatic right to force a pass. You still have to pass safely and without undue contact.
F:
Drivers are expected to set buttons up for side views as "I didn't see you" is not an excuse if you collide with another driver when racing.

Sorry, I missed this post from a couple days ago. F1 2012 is a good game, but the main reason I got it was because I wanted to have an F1 game with Circuit of the Americas in it. I probably won't be getting F1 2013 because I just don't have much gaming time, but it'll be a must-buy if you're a Kimi or Ferrari fan.

Thanks for replying.
Apparently the game came out a couple of days ago and not "in a couple of months". 
I'll order it soon then, and the "classic edition" has the Autodromo do Estoril
It'll be nice to race at home. hahaSimilar threads
