 Could not have been easier to installOct 28, 2009
I wanted to replace my cable company's rented SB5100 ($3/month going to $5) with my own modem. I hesitated a bit since nowhere, including the cable provider, did I find a statement that this modem would easily replace the SB5100. It did, with not a single hitch, and it has worked perfectly. I don't really know if it's faster or not, but for me that wasn't the point. I'm hoping it will last years, just like the one it replaced (which was still working fine). It will pay for itself in less than a year. The only pain was the cable company's phone menu to get to a person so I could register the new modem. Fulfillment and shipping were quick and without damgage.
 Motor Surfboard SB5101 Cable Modem, Buy Instead of RentingOct 28, 2009
SB5101, Motorola Surfboard Cable Modem:
Easy to install, better than renting from Comcast and it seems internet response is better.
Nice upgradeOct 27, 2009
I upgraded with this modem from a dinosaur that isn't even made anymore. This modem works great and works well with my iMac. Be aware the USB functions on this modem only works with WINDOWS and not macs. Not that macs need it for functionality, it is an extra that is not needed. If you own a mac, I recommend this modem for your surfing needs.
Works as expectedOct 26, 2009
I bought this cable modem so that I could stop paying rental fees. I have Comcast and this is the exact same model they use (which is why I bought it). I have been using it for over a month without any problems. When I received it, I called Comcast and gave them the new MAC address of the modem. I was up and running within minutes.
Surfboard ReviewOct 26, 2009
I have recently switched from DSL to cable for my internet and phone needs. I have been a little hesitant, but I am now paying less per month for more speed and features... I read many different reviews on which cable modem to buy and eventually ended up with the most common one, SB5101. I looked at some of the newer ones from Motorola and they did not have as good of reviews, so I bought a used version, I plugged it in and I have not had one problem in the past 1-2 months that I have owned it. This is in contrast to me having to re-boot my dsl router 1-5 times daily. This was a great move for me and the used modem has worked flawlessly.
