When you say directly from Amazon do you mean "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com" or "Sold by XXX and fulfilled by Amazon.com" or "Ships from and sold by XXX?"

Was Amazon the actual seller or was it someone selling through Amazon?

Not everything sold on Amazon is actually sold by Amazon.

Did you buy it from Amazon using the »mynewmodem.comcast.net/ referral site?

Comcast may have the serial numbers and MAC addresses of modems sold through their Amazon store front already in their inventory.

Ships and sold by Amazon. I also didn't buy it from the referral site, I bought it from the direct site.

They told me they would "Investigate" and come back to me in 24-72 hours. Worst case is that they don't come back to me or still claim it's theirs lol. We'll just go to the Comcast building and bring the physical box and receipt :P.

You're probably looking at the wrong one. It seems to only sell from 5 used sellers and it had firmware problems before so a lot of people returned .

Then why did you even start the thread if it is so easy a solution?

You know... you maybe show that Comcast is stupid and that they have no idea what they're doing.

whoever setup this page was confused »astore.amazon.com/myde0b ··· 04XC6GJ0 60GB hard drive? 2TB of DDR3 RAM memory? I'm pretty familiar with my 6121 and have yet to find either of those features.

I think this may be a new version of the SB6121, which incorporates a "DIR" (Digital Internet Recorder), so that you can record the internet now, while you're busy or not at home, and then surf it at your leasure sometime later on.

Are they gonna include a remote with this model or will that be an extra cost option?

ALL optional features are available ONLY from the local Cableco as extra-cost RENTALS:
Remote - $2 / mo.
WAN interface - $.75 / mo.
LAN interface - $1 / mo.
Usable MAC address - $2 / mo.

and of course, the 'Intellectual Property Fee' - $3.95 / mo.

And those returned units were shrink wrapped again and put back on the warehouse shelf for resale as a "new" unit.

And Amazon's "new" and "used" labeling is just as accurate.

Knowing Comcast, probably charge extra for the remote plus an added "convenience fee", "additional outlet fee" and "HD technology fee" ie Hard Drive technology.
