Trouble free [Posted on 2006-08-19]
I've been using this modem for three years without a hiccup. Although there are newer models available, if you can find a working used version of this modem (and your ISP supports it) it should (hopefully) last for years and cost a lot less than the latest modems.
had to be replaced [Posted on 2006-09-24]
i had this modem for about 9 months and for the first 8 months it ran perfectly. unfortunately, it gradually became harder and harder to get online. it took longer and longer to connect and it kept dropping the connection while i was online. at first, i thought it was just Comcast having problems or maybe it was my computer. I switched the computer and called Comcast but still ended up with the same problems. it was the modem that was the problem. i didn't have any problem with Comcast replacing it for free though. they gave me a Scientific-Atlanta Inc. modem, so time will tell if this one does the same. don't worry though if you had bought one. Comcast knows about this problem and they will swap out your modem no problem.
just a plain good cable modem [Posted on 2006-12-11]
I recieved my sb5100 free with hook up to cable internet, and this is 500 times better than the one I had in kansas city. fast, reliable, no problems in 3 years now. Highly recommended, very affordable, dependable brand. Great price, great value.
Was great for a year and then.... [Posted on 2006-12-15]
Like other reviwers stated, works fine for awhile then gradually gets worse and worse. After about 1 year mine had trouble connecting all the time. Now I've switched it out I've had no problems connecting since.
Old Unreliable... [Posted on 2006-12-29]
I don't know if it's my modem or my ISP...but for some reason my Internet connection keeps getting lost. I've had this modem for about a year now and most of the time it does what it's supposed to do. Every now and then, however--sometimes for a day and sometimes for weeks--it loses its commnection. Then I have to unplug it, reset it, plug it back in...see if it works.... If it doesn't, I have to do it again...maybe call my ISP on the phone....
I get a lot of downtime when I should be online and productive. Shop around. I figure there must be something more reliable than this out there.
