SuddenLink, in an apparent effort to be competitive in my area, is doubling, at no cost, one’s data speed. Whatever plan they had is now 2X. (The actual switch over is scheduled for 18 March.)
To bring this about, it is/was necessary to remove the old modem and replace it with a new DOCSIS 3 model.
To wit, yesterday, a SuddenLink tech installed an Arris TM822G.
In reading the tech manual
(Here) it notes that a solid amber “DS†light is normal (and some other tech speak I did not understand). And AFAIK, the new modem works divined.
Now to the question: Why would the “DS†light be amber, when the “US†light is solid green? What, pray tell, is the amber “DS†light supposed to indicate? If things are normal, why isn’t it green?
