4.0 out of 5 stars Flexible Cable Modem, July 19, 2002

This review is from: Toshiba PCX2200 DOCSIS 1.1 Cable Modem with USB Cable (Personal Computers)

I am currently using a PCX2200 to connnect to my RoadRunner service. The Modem has been working without any problems. It has connections for USB and RJ45. The power supply cable has the transfomer in the middle of the cable which makes it easy to plug into an outlet strip unlike some that have the plug built into the transformer and hog space. I am using it with a D-link DI-604 router to share my high speed access with two computers. Overall have had no problems and reliable broadband service with it.

Update - I have been using this modem in my basement since March. The temp in the basement runs around 65 in the winter and spring. Recently it has gotten up to 78 degrees in the basement and my Roadrunner service was slowing and sometimes stopping all together. Finally realized that the modem was hot. If I took a file folder and fanned it for 30 seconds to cool it down my service would be back up until the modem got hot again. Looked at documentation on Toshiba web site and they have many warnings about keeping this unit cool and well ventilated. Called Time Warner for replacement and they gave me a new one that is now working fine. The one I had before had something spilled on it when they installed it and that may be what contributed to its heat failure. Keep it cool!!!!!

This review is from: Toshiba PCX2200 DOCSIS 1.1 Cable Modem with USB Cable (Personal Computers)

A few months ago I decided to switch from a dial-up internet service provider with a 56K modem to cable internet service with the a cable modem. The cable modem service has several advantages: (1) I don't have to dial a number to access it; it's on all the time, (2) It's MUCH faster than a 56K modem, and (3) using my computer via a cable modem doesn't tie up my telephone line. My cable company specifically recommended that I buy a Toshiba cable modem so I bought the new Toshiba Pcx2200. For the several months I've had it, it has performed flawlessly and I am thoroughly satisfied with it. Furthermore, it is quite versatile: it works with both PCs and Macs (I use a Mac) and is compatible with both ethernet and USB interfaces. The low price was a pleasant surprise -- many other cable modems that were not specifically recommended by my cable company were more expensive. I've had a long histrory of satisfaction with Toshiba products and highly recommend this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flawless, December 3, 2002

I've been a cable internet subscriber for over a year. Back when I first signed up, cable modems were going for $250 or more, so it made sense to rent from the cable company for $x per month.

Not anymore! With this Toshiba cable modem, you get a low price and flawless performance! The specs for throughput on this modem are more than respectable, they've more than doubled the specs of the modem I was renting.

To get the most out of your new cable modem, I highly recommend visiting speedguide.net and downloading one or more of their registry patches.
