"OMG! Supper Fast Modem!"
Motorola SURFboard SB5120 offers plenty of speed and added protection for your high-speed pipeline. The SB5120 is easy to install. It offers both USB and Ethernet connections (and comes with the cables for both) and you can also use it as a bridge between your system and an Ethernet LAN, hooking the USB cable to your system and the Ethernet cable to a router. The modem stands upright to save desktop space, with the front panel illuminated by LED indicator lights to let you know that it's connected to your system This modem has a stand-by switch on the top that can be pressed to easily disconnect the modem from the computer, thereby protecting it from the rest of the web when not in use. When you return, simply press the button again to reconnect it to the system. Pros: USB or Ethernet, standby switch, Excellent Modem Cons: NoneRead full review

Great unit - if you don't pay retail
The standby button on top of the unit is extremely convenient. For home use, this feature should be standard. Modem footprint is a bit on the large size, but not bulky. Power consumption, as evidenced by heat given off, appears to be nice and low. Display lights are informative and easy to interpret at a glance. Can't vouch for the faster connect speeds, as I'm on a 1.5 Mbps plan. However, Speakeasy consistently reports speeds slighly greater than 1.5, and general surfing is quite acceptable. No problems with hangs or choppiness on YouTube. Upload speeds seem a bit on the slow side, but not enough to really gripe about. Installation couldn't have been easier. Connected the cables, was routed to Charter's registration page, and was online within five minutes. This was a new modem, however - you may have some additional steps if your modem has been registered previously. The Charter guy told me all you need is the modem's MAC address in order to register. After a couple weeks of steady use, no problems at all to report. Looks like a winner if reliability continues. For decent performance on a budget, I'd recommend checking this unit out. Side Rant: Seems to me that, considering the monthly cost of ISP service, DSL/Cable modems should be included at no cost. Wouldn't be so bad if a particular modem could be used universally with all ISP's - but we all know that's not so. Anybody need a box of functional, but useless, modems? To eBay I will go... Update 10/3/10: Been using this modem with a faster 8 Mbps connection for about 6 months now. I don't do any online gaming, but everything else web-related really screams at this speed. No negatives to report since the last review. It's reliable and unobtrusive, can't ask for much more. At current prices, this is a real bargain.Read full review

It works fine
Nothing to dislike, it works. It's fast. This is now my 4th cable modem in about 11 years, it seems they have all started to fail after so many years. My last one (A DLink DBDCM202) was just as fast, but it failed after about 4 years of use just like all of them have. They start to drop connections and I would have to go re-boot the cable modem. It would get so bad, I had to reboot the modems at least once a day. When it was happening up to 2 times a day, I HAD IT! That was time to buy a Brand New modem! I haven't been using this one now for long, but my original old SURFboard SB4200 only lasted about 4 years as well. It should be noted that I use my cable modem 24hrs a day around the clock, I never turn them off and I work from home so they get very heavy use, especially since 2007 what with all the TV & Movie content coming right off the Internet now (Netflix Watch Instantly etc.)Read full review
