   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.
