If at anytime you decide to use your own cable modem, you must return the one we installed in your home to one of our payment centers.

Tips For Getting a Faster Internet Connection

  • Connecting your cable modem to your computer via a USB cable may slow you down.

  • If you're using a PC, download all available Microsoft operating system patches. Downloading these patches is critical to the performance of your PC.

  • Programs that run in the background such as instant messaging software, email clients like Outlook Express, or any other program that is connected to the Internet, communicate over the same cable modem so closing them will free up bandwidth.

  • If you are using a wireless Internet connection, your speed may be slower than your actual cable modem speed. Connecting directly to the Internet when downloading large files will reduce download times.
