[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1744295, member: 46727"] Lots of luck with that thought. ;D Most ISPs have no idea what a Mac is much less provide you with support for your modem. I have yet to run across an ISP that was really helpful in resolving connection problems, be it for a modem or router they supplied. If your modem requires a firmware update it will be up to you to hunt it down and install it. Sometimes, the ISP can provide an over the air update (as Verizon FIOS does) but that's not the norm.
