Where can I buy a Motorola SURFboard SB6120 Cable Modem?

There's nothing listed on the buy now link from Motorola's site.

»motorola.links.channelintelligen···U=SB6120

I know... I even tried searching for a local retailer within 120 miles of my zip code (15131), but no luck. Does anyone know where one can buy this cable modem?

That said, I doubt Comcast will actually be implementing any service features requiring a DOCSIS 3.0 modem for quite some time, therefore ...

... you'd probably be better off financially buying your own SB51XX rather than leasing a SB62XX.

If I'm wrong about the DOCSIS 3.0 feature implementation, I'd be interested in hearing any details.

There are people that live near me that have DOCSIS 3.0 already, so it should be coming soon...

Comcast is rolling out DOCSIS 3.0 in their many of their areas. Check out the Comcast forum:

»Comcast HSI

Thanks for the info.

You're welcome.

So does anyone know where you can buy this cable modem?

There's a thread in our Comcast Forum discussing this:

» Buying a DOCSIS 3 Compliant Cable Modem

I just bought a Motorola SB6120 at Fry's Electronics in Campbell, CA today for $120.

I'm not sure where you're located, but anyone on the west coast that has a Fry's nearby, they had them.
They're not even on Fry's web site (yet) so I assume they just recently got them.

I purchased one a couple days ago from a Fry's in San Jose, CA.

Those look really cool. What is the benefit of buying your own?

I just bought the SB6120 from Best Buy online (the store did not carry it) and it works great with my DOCSIS 1.0 service.
Bestbuy.com

Just for ref, Comcast's network is DOCSIS 1.1, 2.0 & 3.0, not 1.0 anywhere.

Its up there as of last week, mutiple stores sell it online, including best buy. So far I haven't found a physical store sellling it due to it still being a new product.

I bought this modem and am currently using it, and its the best modem I've used to date.

I have seen them actually on the shelf at a local Fry's store.

Replaced my old sb5100 with a sb6120 last week.
Got it at Best Buy online (took 18 days to arrive)

Have Comcast: Service is listed as 6 meg down / 2 meg up.

Old Results: (w/5100): 3-4 meg down / .346 meg up -- consistently for two years.

New Results: (w/6120): 20-21 meg down / 3-5 meg up. Middle of the nights sometimes up to 30 meg down. Yahooooo !!!!!

I had to call Comcast toll free service number to get them to enable docsys 3.0 The service tech said this was the first 6120 she had set up here in the Denver area. For grins, she opened up all the ports and I did a speed test: 127 meg down and 38 meg up...Hot damn...

But she then dropped my service back down to 6 down / 2 up. I always stay above 20 meg down and 3 meg up.

GO GET ONE OF THESE, THEN CALL COMCAST FOR SETUP...
