The Arris model is HD-DTA100u, the Cisco model is DTA HD170, the
Pace model is the DC60Xu.  I suspect they are all using the same

knowledgeable to <something significantly less>.  Until the
SF Bay Area is scheduled to convert, Comcast may not have
provided the training for any particular CSR to answer the questions
