Don't waste your time with #1. It's limited to systems running either Windows Vista, Windows 7 or OS X Lion. It's a test for the premise modems. It makes sense for them to do this a first time roll out to test the systems and support personnel.
However, it's an excellent time to make sure you can answer all your other questions.
- X-Istence 15y agoThey don't need to know what I am actually running. Each time I have had to call tech support they always ask me what router I am using, and I tell them it is a stock Linksys router. I can just as easily claim that I am running OS X Lion (which I am, just not directly on the cable modem)...
- adestefan 15y agoPlease don't do this. They're doing these tests in a specific order, in specific markets, with specific people for a reason.
- burgerbrain 15y agoAssuming he's a big boy and can handle his own networking issues, I don't see why him doing this should effect their testing.
- adestefan 15y agoBecause they want to test dual-stack. That means a real IPv6 address to each and every device. By only giving out a /128 you can't get a real address to all the devices behind the router.
- burgerbrain 15y agoSo long as he doesn't call up tech support and complain when something doesn't work, I don't see what the issue could be.
- bitwize 15y agoWhat exactly about "minimization of variables" do you not understand?
- burgerbrain 15y agoWhat makes you think I don't understand the concept? Edit: If I am off here, I want to know.
- nknight 15y agoComcast was doing "tests" for a long time in a variety of forms across the country. Those tests are over and have been for a while. This is gradual but very much live deployment, albeit with a limited enabled "feature set".
