CSi Cable works to insure a network that will give you the best performance, reliability, and security. We evaluate cable modems for compatibility and overall performance. Due to technical concerns, changes to our network and discontinued support by the modem manufacturer, certain models that were previously allowed will no longer be suitable for our network, and will not be allowed to be added, as we will begin phasing out use of those older models.
All modems purchased elsewhere need to be registered and tested ($10 fee) to insure they function properly on our network prior to installation of service. We will perform testing and give you a "GO" or "NO GO" answer. If it does not work it will be returned to you. We will not attempt to troubleshoot modem problems. We do not warrant modems purchased elsewhere.
Should your customer owned modem stop working in the future, it is your responsibility to purchase a replacement or rent a modem from CSi. We caution against purchasing STOLEN or USED modems from other locations. Please contact our Customer Service office for details - BEFORE YOU BUY ELSEWHERE.

If we discover problems with models as we do firmware upgrades and network enhancements, they will be moved to the non-approved list. CSi makes no representation as to how long into the future these models will function.
If your modem is not on the list above, the model may be one that is known to not work well on our network or it may be an older model that will soon reach "end of life" and will need to be retired. We will not allow new users to add modems not listed above. If your owned modem, even if on the list above, does not work on our network, it is your responsibility to either purchase a new modem or begin renting. We do not warrant or otherwise repair customer owned modems purchased elsewhere.
Non-Approved: below are User Guides for older models reaching end-of-life & being phased out - don't buy these. These units will not be allowed to be added to network. Any models below rented from CSi will be replaced as needed. Models owned by user should be upgraded to ensure proper operation.
Motorola SURFboard SB6120 and SB6121
Motorola 6120 and 6121 will not work on our network due to recent firmware changes for that modem by Motorola. Until Motorola resolves the firmware problem, we will not allow the SB6120 or SB6121 to be added to our network. Do not buy this model. We do not rent this model modem.
