Best Docsis 3.0 Cable Modem by far

Replaced Docsis 1.0 Cable Modem. Had to contact Comcast to provision Modem. Tech advised to leave Modem on 24/7. Download speed instantly increased 30% to 22 mbps. Upload speed doubled from 2 to 4 mbps on Comcast Performance Tier. Web pages loads are faster on both wired and wireless connections with no degradation on wireless.

Replaced my Sb-5120 with this 6120, No difference. Really, new modem runs at 4.2 per speed test.Was it worth changing? I'm hoping that it might be worth it in the future. I bought it because Comcast called me and said they would bump my speed from 12mps to 22 mps (free)if I had a docsis 3.0 modem, that they would rent me for five bucks a month. I don't rent this type of equip. Don't buy as replacement, If you don't have a modem, then yes, buy this one

Comments about Motorola SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem:

Just ordered this a few weeks ago. Installation was a breeze, and it's been working fine thus far. Only time will tell if the modem continues to be reliable but so far, so good!

One nice feature of this modem, btw, is that it has a sharp look, with a solid block shape, black color, and a netted texture. The lights of the modem look sharp against the body. Obviously not necessary but a nice plus if you care about that sort of thing.

Comments about Motorola SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem:

Compact and easy to use. I did not need to install the software and my connection speed has been increased.

Service and delivery comments:

ABT is an excellent company. I've purchased from them 4 times in the past 2 years. They have a nice variety of products and many are priced better than other internet warehouse sources. I took advantage of the "free shipping". It was packed nicely and the delivery through UPS was fast. I received it in 3 business days. Thanks again.

Comments about Motorola SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem:

Easy setup. I had to (1) return the unit to the cable provider (2) call technical support to give them those tiny numbers in the back of the new unit. I have corrected 20-20 vision and still could not make out all the numbers with absolute certainty. One tip to read those small numbers is to take a digital picture and enlarge it. That worked!
