I'm a Suddenlink cable customer here.  When they moved forward to fiber
optics for total generics source down to all various speeds customers, for
reasons that needed to go back to even old coax cable mode folks, they had
to swap their 'cable' modem to a a new complete version, as well as revise
the 'splitter' to handle the TV and video complete 'modem' operations for
all that stuff which has nothing to do with the IT data for my multiple
servers and so on.  They swapped out the old data modem for a new Arris
Touchstone Cable-Modem for that here.  Not exactly sure what part of tne ID
complete tag is a crossref to your TM722G above here but part of the coding
has CM820A/SL in it.


At present they offer even 1GB service on complete fiber optics as well.
Which can work fine as on as 'someone' doesn't poke dis or dat, or, as we
have also found out that up in the air the squirrels love to eat it!!


Interestingly, the switch that was behind the then cable modem originally
worked fine - SOME TIMES - but locked up everything lots of the time as
well here.  After lots of research, my at then SMC Networks switch simply
would not handle their new format for this and that.  We tested this and
that and the final at this time choice that has worked fine for months now
is a Linksys SE1500 5 port fast ethernet switch.  Which through it's ports
to all the other this and that has solved that problem.  In my case it is a
'10/100' unit which can coordinate a full 10/100/1000 coordinated mixed
mess operation.

Cisco and other things are all under this master interface for them as needed.
