I was looking at that yesterday, Harry, and was thinking that they were the first company to $2T valuation, the first company to $3T valuation and I wouldn’t be surprised if they are also the first to hit $4T.

Wish I hadn’t sold mine. It’d be worth almost $9.5 million today. All I would have had to do was just leave it and do nothing to it—not even add to it--for 25 years.

Too soon old and too late smart.

Thanks, so the only control is to purchase your own modem?

It depends what kind of control you’re looking for. If you use your own router, you might be able to keep miscreants out of your devices with a good firewall, but the ISP can always monitor all your traffic at their switch. Strong privacy apparently requires a VPN and maybe even Tor.

So Bill, are you thinking locked down is a good thing, they can’t get to your devices via a back door?

Of course there’s a back door known to the ISP. That’s how they do remote upgrades and support. Who knows what else they can do through their back door?

?OK... Spectrum brought a modem (the next day at 8am promptly), so I didn't buy a modem. When I went to look online about how to get into the modem to change any settings, all I could find was that Spectrum has the modems locked down so no end user can get into them. Even looking up the modem make and model yields nothing but references to locked-down Spectrum modems. Yay.

Spectrum (the internet provider where my mom lives) told me today that my modem was no longer supported [1]. It's an Arris SB6141, which is DOCSIS 3.0.

They say they will let me have a modem to use for free, but I'm a bit worried that it really a gateway, and I don't want them to have their backdoors in the router. So... I went to look at DOCSIS 3.1 modems, and they are pricier ($150 to $200!) than I expected ($60). Clearly I haven't bought a modem in many many years.

So... should I take the free modem (which might be a gateway) or should I buy a modem? Any tips/arguments either way would be appreciated.

I have the Arris ONT (Optical Network Terminal) required by AT&T. It has a WiFi router built in. I put it in pass through mode and connected a Synology router downstream for WiFi and Ethernet. This should mitigate possible backdoors in the Arris box. The only problem I had doing this was AT&T gives almost no documentation about the device, so I had to find it on the Arris Website using the part number.

Hi Harry,
We’ve had T-Mobile since they merged with Sprint a few years back and service has been excellent for us so far. We traveled to the Caribbean a year or so ago and we called them ahead of time to confirm service was available. We were on a cruise ship, so only made calls when we were in port, but it wasn’t much and was worth it to be able to check in on my Mom while we were gone. I think it may depend on where you are traveling as to what the fee is, or if there even is one. Here is a link to check on service availability.
