I have to say the Arris tm702g that I have is rock solid. I was like Arris, why not a Motorola, but Arris convinced me on the rock solid stability and performance.

Have SB-5120 now (I've owned it since 2005), but will replace with SB-6120 (and from Best Buy, although not the *same* Best Buy that sold me the SB-5120 I have now) ASAP.

Why not the same BB? Because I bought the SB-5120 in *Wilmington, DE* (Concord Mall, next to the Doubletree on US 202 between I-95 and the DE/PA border *and* US 1/322) while atending a family reunion.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-2010-Modem-Poll-23884129 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 22:17:13 EDT Re: 2010 Modem Poll http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-2010-Modem-Poll-23870788 said by OldSkool :

I will keep using my sb5100 until told I have to get rid of it. I have had for many years. Always rock solid never an issue. One does not always need the latest and greatest hardware. Been that route and sometimes it's just a hassle.
Yeah, I heard that. I've been running a 5100 for 6 years and counting now and until Docsis 3 comes and I have to upgrade, or the modem itself dies, I'll keep using it.

It's a beast when it comes to getting every drop of speed I am due and deals lovely with bad signals.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-2010-Modem-Poll-23870788 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 01:08:52 EDT Re: 2010 Modem Poll http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-2010-Modem-Poll-23870474 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-2010-Modem-Poll-23870474 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 00:33:01 EDT Re: 2010 Modem Poll http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-2010-Modem-Poll-23869756 --

I use a Motorola SB4200 which was free when Adelphia started high speed internet in Colorado Springs.

It has never been turned off except for a rare reboot and has run perfectly since March 11, 2003.

I consistently get 20 Megabits/sec down loads on large files even after PowerBoost is long over. This is on the 12/2 service plan.

This is the best electronic "purchase" I have ever made!!!

These are "Protocols that have nothing to do with addressing "sub optimal signal levels" & "speed".

i was saying all d2 modems are nearly the same with some performing better in some ways than others, and all d3 modems performing nearly the same. this is due to them being built to the same protocols with very little variance. if my statement is wrong please let me know]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-2010-Modem-Poll-23786892 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 00:41:22 EDT Re: 2010 Modem Poll http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-2010-Modem-Poll-23781812 said by ca tech:

Thanks. How could I found out which one I have? Why do you have you have separate choices for them? Why is it a significant differentiation?
look on the sticker that is on the back or bottom of the modem, and in theory they all work the same assuming they are d2 or the same if they are d3 in practice some models are just better at working with sub optimal signal or always push the upper end of the speed tier better, in the end they all get the job done it is all about perception.

I had a TJ715x for a few years and it seemed to work okay. It did run quite hot though.

Since then, I've used a BEFCMU10 v4 and a SB5101, which is my current modem.

The 6120 seems to be quite popular :p.
