I need one for my apartment, and one for my friend's apartment. Why would Cox blacklist non-cox modems? They seem to support it as far as I can tell from the website. I'm not too worried about speed, since I probably won't go over the 150Mbps plan for a while. In fact I'll probably start on the 10Mbps plan. I do plan on hosting my website, though it barely gets any traffic, so that should be alright. On 2019-08-08 00:53, Thomas Scott wrote: > Can I ask why you're buying two?
