Hey all, I'm thinking of switching from Comcast (currently have 100Mbps in Minneapolis) to CL because they offer 1Gbps. I've never had DSL (or in this case likely fiber) so I'm wondering if someone can answer some basic questions with the switch.
1) Can I buy a modem or will I have to pay a monthly modem rental fee? How much is it usually?
2) Can I continue to use my current router (Asus RT-AC66U) or do I have to get one of those modem/router combos?
3) Is there a bandwidth cap or any throttling on the 1Gbps subscriptions? I see some reports that CL has a 250GB cap but it doesn't apply for 1Gbps customers. Can anyone confirm?
4) Does CL block incoming ports like 80/21/22/etc?
5) Does CL have native ipv6 in Minneapolis?
6) Any other advice for a technical person who has had cable their entire life and is blissfully ignorant towards DSL/fiber? What differences should I expect?
