Summary: 5 Stars
I have been renting my old Comcast supplied modem for years and decided that was money that I could use to buy one. So, I bought this one since my next door neighbor has one and says he does not even know it's there (great praise for a piece of technology that's just supposed to work!).
I ordered it from here (it arrived two days later -- really fast), I called Comcast to get the mac address registered -- 15 minutes later, it was on.
I am paying for 6MB down-1.5MB up service and my old modem would give me 12 down/4 up (http://speakeasy.net/speedtest/) so, I was pretty happy (probably why I kept renting it for so long).
This new Motor Modem? (.....wait for it.....) 30MB down/10MB up !!!
Apparently, in the Chicago area, Comcast has just upgraded their 6MB customers to 12MB at no additional cost. Even with PowerBoost, my old modem could not make it past 12MB.
This new SB5101 does not seem to have that problem. I was considering upgrading to Comcast's 16MB service (highest Comcast supported speed with customer owned modems) for some VPN stuff that I need to do, but since purchasing this new modem delivers 30MB, what's the point? Again, more money NOT to give to Comcast.
Get this modem, like most premier technology, it's small, cheaper than renting, silent and SMOKIN fast!!

This product worked and gave me the advertized bandwidth of my cable modem connection. I replaced an old outdated Motorola modem with this newer Motorola modem. Both products are excellent.Digital camera Review: Cable Modem

My cable company charges $5 a month to rent a modem, so at $58.98 this was a very good buyDigital camera Review: Cable Modem
