That RCA modem uses a yucky Broadcom chipset(if a chipset can be
yucky J).
Broadcom products are cheap and are also inferior so I’m not surprised.

Subject: Re: [PLUG] Verizon port blocking?
you know, now that you mention
it i think it might be something in the actual modems. i haven't portscanned
where that server is recently, but the've switched to a motorola recently
instead of the rebranded rca comcast gave 'em... i think it's in the hardware.
i know it's not the router (why WOULD it be?) but it's rather possible comcast
could have slipped something into the RCA firmware to the cable modems they
distributed....
curioser and curioser!
