I have one of the old 200 modems, I remember recieving it after my 11th set top box finally gave up trying to deliver 4MB broadband due to the second processor having issues delivering anything over 2mb...so please be careful when quoting the samsung STB will deliver 10mb as it won't if you do any decent downloading...light load is fine though.

I recieved the modem...after a while we went from 4 to 10 and the engineer who manually flashed the modem after I complained the upgrade did not work automagically said I was lucky it was delivering 10mb as most only do 8 or so.

I just installed the newer blue modem at the mom in laws so it will be no issue doing it here...the issue I am ****ed about is i have to wait till i can not recieve the rolled out service before i can get a modem upgrade, which to me is kinda silly knowing even though i have no issue now but i will do in 5 weeks or so...and by then i will be in a large queue...
