According to my friend, she's never even had to access the modem or
router. They set everything up for her.  I asked her to access the modem
so I could see the modem's web page, she didn't know how to do it.  I
plan to do as much of my own as I can. 

I'm hoping to use my router since it is already set up and passwords are
already in everything that uses wifi.  Plus, I haven't had this modem
very long.  I bought some larger ears for it so that my printer and such
will get a signal.  I can get a signal about 400 feet down the road with
my cell phone.  lol 

I'm excited about the faster download speed for sure but I'm also very
happy that I have the same speed going up.  I can do some sort of cloud
backup if I want but even better, I can upload videos to video sites
much faster. 

Overall, this is better than I imagined several months ago when it was
first being mentioned.  Hardware and connections seems simple enough,
fast speeds and a company that is awesome.  Price is really good too. 
Only $4.00 a month more than what I have now. 

Thanks for the info.  Now for the waiting part.
