Bonded Vdsl2 modem

[Nickdobbs123]

So I want to buy a nighthawk r7900 and need a modem to go with it because I don't wanna rent one.

So does netgear have a modem that will do bonded VDSL2 that centurylink uses?

   No.  Not CenturyLink nor any other ISP.

To be clear - Netgear does not have any device that supports bonded xDSL of any type regardless of the ISP.

Not positive, but I believe you can buy a device from Centurylink and I may have also seen these at BestBuy. If you try BestBuy be sure to tell them it's a bonded VDSL2 circuit.

   I'll bite.  Which part of "No", "Not", or "nor" (or the cited KB
article) did you think was less than "clear"?

   Because the experts at Best Buy will be more reliable as a source of
information than the CenturyLink web site?

I spoke with centurylink and it is indeed bonded, and I can buy one from them. But it'll probably be a cheap pos and it costs 150 from them.

Does Centurylink have a user community where you can ask about compatible modems?

Amazon listings also sometimes include compatibility claims.
