Which Cable Modem to buy?

[shady123]

We've had the same crappy 3Com cable modem for ages and I'd like to "upgrade" to a better one, but I don't know which one to choose?

I'm looking mostly for stability, but with Comcast I know that's not always an option

I like my motorola SB5100. $35 shipped on ebay.

Motorola SB5120, better then the 5100

You have any other networking gear already? Routers? Switches? Buy the same brand if possible.

duh, it has a bigger number after it!

Can you possibly go down to Comcast and they may have upgraded the modems?

Comcast replaced my old crappy RCA with the Mot 5100 and it's been smooth sailing.

If it works, why change?

I've been using this Toshiba PCX1100 for 6yrs. It's just there.

The Motorola Sb 5120 is better at networking supposedly, but I didn't have a problem with the former.

And it's on sale at Circuit City even without activation. See HD thread here

Motorola SB5100, just look at the reviews on newegg.

I have a Motorola SB4200 (discontinued model before the 5100), It's been rock solid for years. I'd get a Motorola SB for sure.
