That picture seems wrong to me, when have Fax machines ever been connected to the internet? Replace the Fax machine picture with 7 Smart phones and Tablets, then add to the Entertainment Console picture another Entertainment Console and 3 Smart TVs and I think you might have a pretty good representation.

Nice article. I had to upgrade my internet to the Brighthouse 400 Mb speed with all the devices using it and me working from home now. Add to that kids and wife playing internet games all summer and my 100 Mb couldn't handle like I wanted it to. It would "work" but I could definitely feel it get bogged down when someone was downloading a large file or something like that.

I will add that when buying your modem it might be a good idea to look at the next level up. I was looking at mid range Arris per the Brighthouse recommended list but found the SB8200 for about $10 more at Office Depot. Now if I ever upgrade to the 1G I already have the modem and it works just fine on the 400 Mb I have now.


Mine goes to my router because I use Vonage.
