Cable modem recommendations?

[BeefcakeVA]

Used the standard Linksys model in the past... still a good choice? Thanks for any advice.

Have you had any problems with it ?

I found that the Toshibas are very reliable, Motorolas aren't too bad, but stay away from Best Data, and Smart One (both have failed for me).

I'm using a Motorola and it works great. Here's the newest model with 5 stars http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00008Y1BX/qid=1080508942/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-7239534-9553710?v=glance&s=pc

I use the SB4100

No problems with the original BEFCMU10 but I no longer own it... I'll check out all the recommendations above. Thanks all 🙂

I have heard good things about the Motorola SB5100

Reading the SB5100 reviews now... looks like a winner.

Have Comast ? That is the standard now, you can find it for a good price on the weekends at bestbuy.

Will have Cox cable actually. Went ahead and ordered from Newegg for $63 shipped as I won't need it for a couple of weeks. Thanks to all for the advice.

I don't have a 5100, but my Motorola Surfboard 4100 cable modem has been delivering flawless service for about 2 years now. (Been using it with Comcast, which - contrary to some people's experiences - has provided me with excellent service.)

Just out of curiosity, would I see any meaningful benefit from upgrading to a 5100? What are the principle differences between the two modems?
