Anyone know if existing 2.0 compliant cable modems can be updated to support 3.0 (presumably via firmware), or will I have to get a new cable modem once 3.0 is rolled out in my area?

I have a Linksys BEFCMU10 cable modem and it's served me well for the past 5 years, but I haven't seen anything from Linksys (geared for home use, anyway) that's DOCSIS 3.0 compliant.

Most any will work, just avoid the really cheap/off-brand ones
(best-data frys specials are known by cox to have issues with latest
infrastructure code, now unsupported).  I'd recommend making sure it's
at least docsis 2.0 capable, and if you want the really high tiers of
service (15mb+) get a motorola 6120, as they support docsis 3.0 which is
rolling out now.
