I think their records are screwed up. Apparently they still think I have
the LanCity modem I used to rent from them. I've had the Motorola SB4100
for a couple of years. 

BTW: some cable systems are one way (download via cable, upload via
phone). I don't think that Comcast would downgrade their service here.
