CM1000 DOES NOT work with Suddenlink

Question

Well, the word is in.&nbsp;CM1000 Modem (FW 2.01.14) DOES NOT work with Suddenlink.&nbsp;Suddenlink came out and couldn't get it to provision. I'm just upset that I had to be the tester. Phone tech support couldn't get it to work either. They couldn't even get it to work with my existing 200Mbps plan, let alone gigabit.&nbsp;Just wanted to let people know so that they don't waste $180 on the CM1000 modem, at least if they have Suddenlink for an ISP. I'll be leaving reviews on Newegg and Amazon shortly to spread the word.

Hello SuperNAsman

&nbsp;

This is a Docsis 3.1 modem that works with Xfinity internet and other providers in the future I would suggest contacting your ISP to see what modems they support before making a purchase.

Actually DarrenM, I did contact my ISP and see what modems they support before I made the purchase. Suddenlink said they supported the CM1000, but they were wrong.&nbsp;Definition of a crapshoot.

I did see your log on other forum channels (assuming you are same person). it looks like modem was not correctly provisioned modem was not downloading config files.

I wish I had read this first. I have Suddenlink and the "Tech" I spoke with on the phone was unable to get my new CM1000 working as well.The Internet (Globe LED) just continued to blink and I tried going ahead and connecting to a computer. "No Internet" .I was assured by the Suddenlink techs and Netgear that it would work before I purchased it. I'm wondering since mySuddenlink service includes bundled phone (voice) services that use a splitter on the wall coax running to a separatephone modem would somehow interfere with this modem working properly? I know the CM1000 says "Not Compatible"with voice services but thats ambiguous. Does it not support voice or does the voice data stream disable the modem working?

Has anyone found the issue for this? And why suddenlink keeps saying the modem is compatible and cant get it to connect?
