I called today and they say the D-Link was the older versions and they have
switched to Actiontec.
Aside from that - everyone I spoke to - they all love the TV picture and the
high speeds.
The price I negotiated is less than Comast could do - even with the
retention dept. (after 12 years) - plus I am getting more services. The
only "catch" is 1 year contract ... but a two year price freeze. They are
giving $100 cash back, and first month free - that off sets the $119 early
termination fee if needed.
