The tech who changed it said that the 120 was basically obsolete as it couldn't accept the latest software.A month before that another tech visted, never even came in , said there was nothing wrong with the modems, just the service generally,and left without doing anything.
At that time there was a posting on this forum showing what accepted what speeds. It went missing some time ago, about the time the "will your modem accept the new speeds" advice page swapped from saying the 120 and 100 needed to be changed for a newer model, to saying they were fine.
Whether they got some software that could accept the upgrade, or just decided it would cost too much to change them all I'll leave with you.
I know my thoughts on the matter.
