I am using a General Instruments SurfBoard SB3100 Cable Modem. The performance is unmatched, and they are just a little over 100$

(I use it w/ @home)

I can have 10 PCs networked to this badboy, and they all can download really fast 🙂

I think pretty much any docsis cable modem will work fine. I have had a toshiba and a motorola and haven't noticed a difference. I use the toshiba now.

GI / motorola win with the diagnostic page and quality(low failure rate) toshiba's and terayon are a few others that i've used/like.

if i were to suggest a modem now it would be either a Motorola SB4100 or a Teryon TJ615.

I have the Toshiba (AT&T recommended). Works like a dream. Sounds like I should have gotten the GE model. It's about 45 bucks cheaper.:frown:

Just purchased an RCA cable modem - matched the one I was "leasing" from ATT before I purchased it. Works real well. Other people I've talked to here are using a Linksys model. They seem to be happy with it. I've seen the RCA and the Linksys for about $89 at BestBuy and Curcuit City in the past week.

sounds good, ill take a look around, and thanks for the responses. It looks like my best bet is going to be EBAY, but ill check CC and BB also

I, for some damn reason am partial to the surfboard modem. I decided to buy my modem and the surfboard was used and wouldn't have come with a waranty. So, I bought the Toshiba which came with a five year waranty and was less than $100 (they were having a special on it) like $30 per bill for making payments. I have since seen it in stores for like $140 so it was a good deal. I have noticed NO difference between the two except for, well the way it looks and the surfboard was more weighted and seemed sturdier. Then I saw this mod for the surfboard at this address Text and now I WANT IT BACK! 🙁 Pretty cool mod ehh. So back to the point, there is no technical/performance difference between the two and probably all the docsis cable modems.
