What's the best / fastest cable modem to get ?

I am in the market for a cable modem and need to know what the best ones are.

I am in AT&T country and have an RCA one now.

YES, I want external !

YES, I am hooking it up to my SMC barricade.

I found that it needs to be DOCSIS compliant also.

Any direction would be great....thx!

I had a toshiba for the longest time when I was at my parents. Now that I got married I had to setup a new account under my wifes name. They gave me a toshiba PCX1100U and after 1 week it was fried. All 5 lights were solid (the help desk is horrible now. Being handled by outside vendor, no longer internal).

Well, anyway, they had to make a house visit and give me a 3com, the one that looks like a sharks fin. Ungly sob but I find it works a little peppier than the Toshiba.

PS: Sorry, forgot to mention, this is on an AT&T Roadrunner service.
 
I use Toshiba now after my 3com got stolen. The speed is the same between the two. I think the cable service itself will be the bottleneck before the modem will. Most cable modems are good above 10mbits.
 
I used to have Motorola, my friend has RCA and I have Toshiba. I see no difference 🙂

It all depends upon the provider ...
