Jewelzz, Cox usually sells/leases Toshibas or Motorolas.

I bought mine from them ... it's a Toshiba PCX1100U, and it's great. It's DOCSIS certified, and it has both Ethernet and USB connections.

The Motorolas are very good too. Just go for the one that costs less.

**Jewelzz** · April 25th, 2003

I'm moving NetRyder, remember?

The reason I'm looking for another one, my current one seems to be dying

It just has to be docsys compatable

Jewelzz - don't know as this will be any help at all (probably not), but I rent mine from Comcast for $3.50 a month with the idea that "if I have a problem" - it's their modem - so they'll have to replace it! Mine is on 24/7 - couldn't find one for less than $100 - so I have to rent for about 2 1/2 years with no problems before I lose money on the deal!

hey i just got a linksys etherfast cable modem and it blazes, could ask for a more stable modem the crap cox provided was well .... crap ! LOL get the linksys prolly the same money cox is offering its modem to ya for.

**Jewelzz** · April 25th, 2003

I won't be using Cox once I move, it's some local cable company.

Toshiba and Moterola make good modems also, although I've got an RCA and it works wonderful for a year + now with no switching off.

That's pretty darn high for a cable modem! I think I got mine for around 80 at the time.

I just purchased a Motorola SB 5100 for $59

yeah the surfboards are cheap! and theres no problem with them. cable modems don't really make a difference its just the cable company that determines the speed.

**NetRyder** · August 22nd, 2003

Some ISPs do require that you have a DOCSIS certified modem, though. But I'm sure the Motorola is, in any case.

**chris** · August 23rd, 2003

my surfboard 4100 is old, and power hungry... add to that a crap ISP. fun fun fun
