Me too ... I checked a couple weeks ago and it wasn't available ... but I just checked now and GIGABLAST is finally available in my area! I'm so stoked ... based on the chatter, I'm sure to enjoy it. Oh, what's that? It requires a DOCSIS 3.1 modem? Oh, you just spent nearly $300 on a fancy shiny new Netgear CM700 DOCSIS 3.0 modem? It like I find knives to stick in me and then slowly twist .... Anyone want to buy a "like new" Netgear CM700 DOCSIS 3.0 modem? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M981YYL Yes, I fully understand that this thread is about us all drooling over Gigablast, the one service this modem can't do ... got that, thank-you. -- Thanks, Alex.
