AOL broadband with Voyager 100 modem?

AOL no longer supports the Voyager 100 modem. I found out when I was cut off on Wednesday. If you have a Voyager 100 modem, I suggest that you pester AOL to supply you with a new modem. I've now got a Voyager 190 Ethernet modem and my upload/download speeds are now mega fast.

    i do not see how changing modem can effect your speed, if AOL supplied you with the same speed before and after.... besides - i would have thought any modem would be able to connect you to broadband... but then it is AOL...

    Sorry, I'm not a tekkie so I can only write here what AOL told me. I've noticed there are lots of AOL Voyager 100 modems for sale on ebay!

    Probably simply due to users buying a wireless router!
