 Motorola Surfboard, the best cable modem you can buy August 26, 2008
CM-mnky
I owned a SB4100 for about 10 years before buying the new SB5101. The SB4100 worked great, but I wasn't getting the extra speed I was paying for with Cox Premium package. A friend recommended I upgrade my modem and I figured after 10 years I might as well. While I do notice a speed increase, this is only due to my purchase of the extra service from Cox. Don't expect this to increase your speed without paying for the premium package.
Excellent Cable Modem August 24, 2008

Excellent cable modem for the price. The speed is a lot higher than what I got with the rented cable modem from Comcast.
I would recommend this modem to everyone.
Worked well for the last 3 years, no problems at all. August 21, 2008

I've been using this modem for the last 3 years, I've changed routers (D-Link, Linksys) during that time but the modem is still going strong. I've not experienced any problems with it at all with my Comcast Broadband connection. I had not realized that Comcast had been charging me $3.95 for modem rental per month before I got this modem. It therefore makes sense to get your own modem.
I got mine as part of a retail store promotion. If you signed up for Comcast at the big box electronics store, they sent you a gift card for the value of the modem when you activated your account. I'm not sure if that promotion is still ongoing after 2-3 but you can check at your local electronics store.
 Stay far away from this unit August 18, 2008
Fobulous (Sugar Land, TExas)
This is a bad unit as it has a confirmed firmware issue that Motorola is refusing to fix. After 3 days of flawless operation, the unit started to Reboot itself which is beyond annoying. My wife informed me that during the day time the modem could reboot 20 times.
I will promptly return this unit to Amazon.

I bought this modem to replace my old Comcast rental modem. I expected to see a big improvement on download speed but it didn't really happen. Anyway, the modem serves its purpose.
