Hi, on Monday my home100 modem failed - it wouldn't 'lock on' according to the tech line. A technician is due to visit, but not until next Tuesday! so just a couple of questions for future reference. (1) Is it a case of just plugging in a new modem & away I go? (2) What's the difference between the 100/200 etc. models? (3) I was quoted 'about £250' to buy a modem (thought they might courier it to speed things up), so if I obtained another make of cable modem, to keep & use as a temporary stop-gap if this happens again, would it still work?

Thanks in advance for replies.
