 Worked well for the last 3 years, no problems at all. August 21, 2008
I've been using this modem for the last 3 years, I've changed routers (D-Link, Linksys) during that time but the modem is still going strong. I've not experienced any problems with it at all with my Comcast Broadband connection. I had not realized that Comcast had been charging me $3.95 for modem rental per month before I got this modem. It therefore makes sense to get your own modem.
I got mine as part of a retail store promotion. If you signed up for Comcast at the big box electronics store, they sent you a gift card for the value of the modem when you activated your account. I'm not sure if that promotion is still ongoing after 2-3 but you can check at your local electronics store.
 Stay far away from this unit August 18, 2008
This is a bad unit as it has a confirmed firmware issue that Motorola is refusing to fix. After 3 days of flawless operation, the unit started to Reboot itself which is beyond annoying. My wife informed me that during the day time the modem could reboot 20 times.
I will promptly return this unit to Amazon.

I bought this modem to replace my old Comcast rental modem. I expected to see a big improvement on download speed but it didn't really happen. Anyway, the modem serves its purpose.
Basic and stable August 10, 2008
You just can't go wrong with the Motorola Surfboard cable modem. It's basic, simple, stable and it's performance is exceptional. It's a win win decision to get one of these and stop paying exorbitant modem rental charges to your ISP.
