What is the life span of a cable modem?
What is the typical shelf life of a modem? I have a modem that was bought new an year ago.
Is it the case that it's performance deteriorates after a period of time?
Some friends told me that they replace it every 10 months. 😲
PS: I have no knowledge about the topic. So please be detailed in your replies. 😳

silverscorpionReplacing a modem every 10 months?? phew....
I have been using the same modem for the past 2.5 years, and I'm positive I don't experience any degradation in performance whatsoever.
Usually, there is no such life expectancy for electronics. They usually function well as long as the parts inside are good. Unless you short a circuit path in the board or something, the same modem will do just fine until you need more speed which the modem can't cope up with. -
Sahithi PallaviI have been using my modem for the past 2 years. And now it looks like it's time for me to replace it. It is taking some 15 minutes to switch on all its lights & to connect and sometimes even more 😔. I have to wait till then. Customer care says that the life time of the modem is just 2 years 😕

Yeah. My modem is yet to show any signs of dying. 😛 But I want to know if people really "replace" their modems eventually.SadaI have been using my modem for the past 2 years.
