DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Systems Interface Specification) is a standard from Cable Labs that is given to cable modem manufacturers when they develop a product that meets DOCSIS specifications. The modem is said to be “CableLabs Certified” and provides a consistent standard that can be used across any cable system that supports DOCSIS. For more information please see the Cable Datacom News site. Currently, Road Runner uses both legacy and DOCSIS equipment. Road Runner subscribers should not notice a difference between the two types of equipment. However, DOCSIS is the standard of choice which will provide a better overall user experience.
