JUSTAMIN,
i dont doubt that we have no control over stock (i personally hate being give pace DHTs at the mo lol their fault rates are astronomical), but if u recieve a dpx100 now the likelyhood is its a 2nd hand unit! the fault rate/return rate for those modems is much higher than any other! just speaking from experience thats all! i'm sure ur modem is fine and will continue to work fine.
under -7 on the downstream - how often is the modem goin to lose its lock on the 331 and search all over again? its a matter of QOS more than whether it'll work or not.
ok thats my 20cents now lol
