Cable Modem just died

[Desslok]

What model cable modem is everyone using now?

 

[MDE]

I'm using a Surfboard 4100 IIRC. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a Motorola modem.

The Motorola SB5100 is arguably the best cable modem available.

Yes I also have the Motorola Surfboard 5100, it is great. It doesnt heat and is very good -- lol

Their routers and adapters are also on the cutting edge of quality and performance. I picked up the WR850G a few weeks ago and I'm very fond of it.

Been running the Motorola SB5100 for a few days and have had zero problems

Excuse me but let me highjack a bit note: i am wondering if there are any good dsl modems that can squeeze a little bit more out of my connection?

ADC modem...

I used to have a phasecom wireless modem, but now I have an ADC cable modem (for our wireless internet system)

toshiba pcx2600 with 2 ports (one usb and another cat 5e) = it came from my cable company and i like it! I plan on going from the cable modem to my linux box/server then connect from the linux box to my XP PC.

Line rate is limited, ADSL modems only vary by a few kilobits in transfer rates.

Visit DSLReports.com and run their Speed Test and Tweak Test. Take note of any recommendations there regarding RWIN setting and MTU setting. You might find a change in one or both of these settings can improve your speed.

I might look into that.

Originally i thought motorola's surfboard series modems were for both dsl and cable, only found out recently that they were only for cable
