Geez, only the SB4220 implements DOCSIS 2.0's A-TDMA. Nowhere is DOCSIS2.0 mentioned in the same sentence with SB4200/4101/4100 on Motorola's pages. One'd think if those could be used for DOCSIS 2.0, it'd be plastered all over the place by now.

This is an incorrect statement. The SB4100 can NOT be upgraded to DOCSIS 2.0. This modem is based on silicon that does not implement either of the new upstream technologies required (A-TDMA or S-CDMA).

Here is what I DO know. SB4100 Modems ARE DOCSIS 2.0 READY. That means that WHEN Comcast decides to incorporate the new 2.0 standard, (from what I understand) our modems will be provided the firmware from Comcast. My only concern about the Motorola people discontinuing the SB4100 was my concern for lack of parts, tweaks, and stuff. NOw, as to whether Comcast is DOCSIS 1.0 ready, correct me if I am wrong, but I do believe that they would HAVE to be at the 1.0 standard, otherwise none of our modems would work at all.

I respectfully disagree. The Motorola customer service people told me this. The 4100 IS DOCSIS 2.0 ready. The modem itself says that right on the box. Please show me why you are not in agreement with this.

No they mean DOCIS 2.0. Increased upload speeds, etc. I have conformed and reconfirmed this with COmcast Modem Upgrade dept. DOCSIS 2.0 to be implemented on Sept 30.
