Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Modem- No need for Comcast's charge monthly Comment: Love it and it works fine; was not hard to do after a call to Comcast to set it up
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good ventilation required Comment: I have this modem for about 2 years now. It started to develop a symptom that seems to relate to heat. If I lay down the machine, the bottom side will become hot and the machine will stop functioning.
Other then that there is no problem.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Works as described Comment: Not much to say other than it works as advertised with Comcast's cable service. Supports boost too.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Had to Return Product Comment: Although we were highly satisfied with the item in the first few days, it died within a week. We thought the source of the problem was our cable company, and we tried to troubleshoot with them for over a week. In the end, the problem was with the modem. All of the lights on the unit were lit, yet there was no signal being transmitted.
While we may have received the only faulty unit from the bunch, I have no other choice than to say I would not recommend this product.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Best Value on Amazon.com Comment: Bought this modem about 2 weeks ago for quality and value. Item was received in good order.

With the next-generation SURFboard SB5101 cable modem, you're compatible with today's broadband Internet and ready for the future, too. When your cable service provider upgrades to a DOCSIS 2.0 network system, you'll surf the Internet at as much as 30 Mbps--3 times faster than earlier modems!
With Ethernet and USB connectivity, installation couldn't be simpler (just follow these steps (PDF, 2 MB)). A convenient stand-by button provides hassle-free security by disengaging from the PC without disconnecting from the cable network. Troubleshooting is a breeze too, thanks to front panel status indicator LEDs and an online diagnostics page.
Once you've experienced broadband powered by Motorola, you'll never want to go back to dial up again! Get onto the cable pipeline today with the powerful, convenient, flexible and simple to install SURFboard SB5101 cable modem.
