omg.......2007-07-03

This modem rocks!!!!!! I replaced my five year old surfboard
with this new one to take advantage of power boost(tm) service
offered by Comcast in my area. other than calling Comcast when
they had their "b" team working setup was a breeze its talking
to my Linksys voip Vonage router beautifully!!! Just for fun
I test my speeds on the Vonage website and my last one using
the Safari browser was a whopping 14.1 megs!!!!!! up from 5.8
Get ths one!!!

Excellent Choice.......2007-07-01

Works as advertised. Fast and easy set up and (so far) flawless performance - coupled with a great price, it's an excellent choice.

Three Strikes and Motorola is OUT.......2007-06-28

I have tried THREE different SB5120's and each has had to be returned under warranty. I noticed that they are now made in China (used to be made in Mexico). Motorola is ditching their quality for profit - the bastids.

easy set-up; no hassle use.......2007-06-27

This modem is compact and straightforward to use. Install took less than 1 minute; the phone call to my provider to register the MAC ID took far more time. :) Up and running at close to 2.0 max with no problems.

Good modem but I had to do exchange.......2007-06-25

I had used my first SB 5120 for one and a half of years and the download and upload speed dropped to about 100K. I did see one day the modem shows only the power was on with the green lights. I eliminated the possibility of any cable problem so I called Comcast to see if they were sending weak signal to me and they said NO after we did some simple tests on both sides. So they set an appointment to come to my house to check. Before they came to my house the download speed was back to about 5-8 MB again and upload to 380K. So I cancelled the appointment. Two days later the down/up speed dropped to 100 K again. So called Comcast technician in and they put on their Scientific Atlantic modem and the speed was 9 MB and upload speed was 1.5MB while my SB coule only get me less than 100 K on two ways. So they said my SB 5120 was bad. It's still under warranty so I called Motorola and got a replacement after I sent the old one back at my own expense of one way shipping. Got the 2nd SB 5120 and called Comcast to enable the Mac. To my surprise the download speed was about 100-200 kb and upload was even lower. I and Comcast did some tests and no improvments were found. Comcast did not know why. I think it's unlikely two SB 5120 modems I have are both bad. I unplugged it and reconnected them with power and cables after disconnecting them for about 20 minutes. After restarted all of the equipments and retested the speed I had stable 8MB or higher dowload and 300-360k upload speed. The highest download once reached 18MB but the upload speed never went above 365K. So I suspect there is some unknown minor issue with this modem and the first one I sent back to Motorola probably was not bad but was not functioning properly due to some minor issue. Maybe it needs to discharge once in a while. I am not sure and will ask Motorola if there is such an issue. Now the big question is why I can't get up to 1.5 MB upload speed with the SB 5120 if the Scientific Atlantic modem can get me?
