johnwill, why you say that?

I am going to give you the stats on the D-link DCM202 compared to the Motorola Surfboard sb5120.

I am using optimum online the basic broadband service in NY no boost.

average speed after 11 pm usually around 13.2 Mbps
average speed after 8 am usually is around 9.8 Mbps

Now let' s go to D-link DCM202 Stats

average speed after 11 pm usually around 15.2 Mbps average speed after 8 am usually is around 11.839 Mbps

From what I am experiencing the D-link modem that you consider old technology still work faster than what you consider newer technology. At any rate, I don' t know what you consider newer technology. Can you give me a list on the newer and better cable modems you are talking about?

I just wanted to update to the firmware that is available on the d-link website that' s all. The modem Is already working great for me.

oh, this is some of the features of DCM202: High-Speed Internet Connectivity
• Always On, Always Connected
• DOCSIS® 2.0 CableLabs® CertifiedTM
• Ethernet or USB Connectivity
