Model CM1000 VDSL or ADSL support?(CenturyLinkSupport)

Question

Hi, I was planning on buying this device but I couldn't find if it was VDSL or ADSL compatible and that's what CenturyLink needed to know to see if it was&nbsp;or not. Thanks in advance!

FYI, the C in CM is for Cable, thus Cable modem, thus not DSL support.
D in DM is for DSL, thus DSL modem, thus DSL supported.

Yes as both DM or CM modems have RJ45 port in back for connections to a PC or a external router.

Just make sure that your ISP fully supports the make and model modem your looking to get into before making the jump.

Fer sure, I just needed to make sure because no matter what I'll have to get a cable modem to convey between my coaxial input and my actual Netgear router so I'd assumed that getting the CM1000 would work for that. Am I wrong in thinking this?

I've never actually used CenturyLink before. I'm getting them on the 10th and was going to try and have a modem at hand to use for when I do get internet from them. When I had Xfinity it went through a coaxial modem and I had to have a separate router after that. So I assumed that CenturyLink went through coaxial inernet as well but I could be wrong. I guess I'll have to double check on their end.
