Toshiba's DOCSIS® 2.0 certified PCX2600 Cable Modem - Toshiba's answer to advanced symmetrical services. The PCX2600 offers the highest performance in cable data modem technology today, providing residential and business users with one of the fastest truly two-way interfaces to the Internet. Add the services made possible with the DOCSIS 2.0 standard, and the PCX2600 is the newest standard for DOCSIS cable modems.
Much to my surprise, while I was surfing through the website for my Internet/Phone/TV provider I realized that I was paying a monthly rental fee for their Internet modem equal to what it would cost me to purchase one on eBay. And the provider offered a Bring Your Own Modem program which would eliminate the monthly charge. Good gracious, I thought just another way that prices escalate and I can control this one. I immediately went on eBay, found the modem I needed and bought it. Yes, it was used, but works perfectly and the modem the cable company was renting to me was also used, so what difference did it make. I actually bought two so I would have a spare in case the first one went bad. Best way I have found to cut my cable bill, other than dropping services Any time I need anything, the first place I look is eBay and usually I will find it.Read full review
Very good DOCSIS 2 cable modem. No problems. Owned this one for 6 years with no issues. The only problem was when DOCSIS 3 cable modems became available. You cannot top out on internet speeds with DOCSIS 2. You need a 3 now to keep up with faster internet connections. The Toshiba PCX2600 is excellent and perfect if you only want a max transfer rate of about 20 mbps. That is the highest my ISP allowed me to purchase with a DOCSIS 2.
Not sure this is of much value, based on one unit which I purchased. The unit was sold as used, but appeared to be new in original packaging. I planned to use it as a spare cable modem; I currently use an Ambit U10C018, which works fine with my Cox Cable Internet service in Santa Barbara. I called Cox support to arrange for the switchover to the Toshiba PCX2600; the PCX2600 acquired signal briefly and was recognized by the Cox technician, but then dropped off and never reacquired signal. I eventually had to revert to the Ambit. Dealing with Cox support on the phone is a fair amount of work; but I guess I need to get some other unit and go through this all again.
