Well i have this modem that will drop a connection every hour or so, and its very frustrating. Also, my speed has dropped from 500kb/s+ to <100kb/s. It's about time to get a new cable modem and tell comcast to eat their $5/mo.

Anyway just need to know what i should be looking for in a cable modem. From what i hear the Motorolla surf boards are very good, and newegg has one for around $70. Thoughts?

Just realized the Linksys has the DOCSIS 1.0 standard. Go with a brand that supports DOCSIS 2.0.
