CM1000 Modem 3.1 DOCSIS compatible with CenturyLink?
I purchased the Netgear CM1000 from Amazon earlier this year (2017) when it was released for my service with Xfinity, but I've grown tired of their data limits and am wanting to try out CenturyLink. I've read on their website that it's not compatible, but is that correct? If so, is there a way to modify the settings or firmware to make it work? I spent a lot on it and would rather not buy another modem.

Century Link is DSL/Fiber. CM1000 is !!NOT!! compatible with Century link.
I cannot imagine someone moving from Xfinity to Century link. are they really good? (Not saying Comcast is good but it sure sucks less than Century link)

I guess I might give them a week to see how it does and if I like it, then I'll look into a different Modem. If not, I'll go back to Comcast. I hate the fact that Comcast is such a monoply.

Fiber is technically better than Coax/HFC but it does not mean it is not shared. I am not sure what kind of architecture Centurylink is using (EPON, GPON,DEPON, etc). Most of the times, we get misled by marketing message from the operators.
buy something which fits your needs and is stable. good luck.

Thanks for answering my original question. Honestly, it's a big let down that there are so many restrictions when it comes to a basic neccesity nowadays.
