2010 Modem Poll

Results (Bar Chart) Results (Bar Chart)

SB 5101 here. Once they get DOCSIS 3.0 here in Mendocino County (sometime this year is all they tell us) I will probably upgrade to a 6120.

You've got to stand for something, or you'll fall for anything.

SB6120 here I purchased from Bestbuy for $90.

Had a 5101 but just bought a 6120 last week to be ready for when D3 rolls out here.

We're scheduled to be one of the last areas to go DOCSIS 3, oh goodie

I guess Motorola didnt win in cellphone design, but at least on something about the modem.

I currently own a 5100, but I think that will change to either a SB6180 or DPC3010 as soon as I can find them for sale/for sale at a decent price.

Own a Moto SB6120 And I love it !! Had it for 6 months now and not one hiccup.

reply to Johkal
Why isn't the Cisco DPC 3000 included in the list and not listed as "other" that is the D3 modem that I currently have from comcast.

reply to Johkal
Linksys BEFCMU10 v4

SB6120 here. Works great!

reply to Johkal
Still using my sb5100 (works great for 12/2) and leaning towards a new moto (model depends on whats available then) when the time comes.
Hard to beat the reliablity, durability, or price (free after rebate!) even if it doesn't offer all the bells and whistles of some other models

If it is not too much to ask... I would like to know where people have gotten their DOCSIS 3 modems. I have found a lot of places that are selling the 6120, but I am curious about the DPC 3000 and the Ubee. (Not sure of modem number)

Additionally, if anyone is using this thread as a guideline to research/purchase a modem, please consider getting a DOCSIS 3 modem over a DOCSIS 2 modem. If you can spare the extra money I think that you will be happier overall. This is especially true if more people in your area subscribe to HSI, or subscribe to faster tiers. Since the DOCSIS 3 modems can channel bond your connection is likely to have more bandwidth available. If someone is hogging a certain channel on a DOCSIS 2 modem, you still have 2-3 other channels to pull bandwidth from.

No matter how much I typed the above post it always seemed to sound stupid and useless... Sorry to anyone who read it and felt that their time was wasted.

Edit: I give up.

hey drizew

I got mine from comcast, the Ubee and its been reliable. I would rather have the cisco, but this one is fine. Your post wasnt stupid... good point to everyone out there. Futureproof!

I wanted to address a question I had via IM: I was asked why this Poll isn't multiple choice for people who use one modem for CDV and another for HSI. I was originally going to make it multiple choice, but knowing pranksters, anyone could choose every modem and ruin the results.

Write me up a 125.......I Can't Drive 55 »redrocker.com/ »cabowabo.com/

why not put in a 2nd poll that asks whether or not you use a separate modem, but doesnt ask which kind?
(or you could put this on survery gizmo or something)

Anyone can do a Poll for additional questions. This Poll will address what modem customers are using for HSI.
