4.0 out of 5 stars The Game player review, August 6, 2009

By	Joseph Alegre "Joe Review" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

I bought this modem the other day because I felt my old SB5101 modem was not optimized for speed. I have a regular DOCSIS 2.0 service through Comcast. The modem made a huge impression on me after it was installed. The download and upload increased around 20 percent. The amazing thing is that this modem squeeze extra bandwidth out of your existing service (weather you have a standard basic megabyte connection or the newer DOCSIS 3.0 service high speed connection). The noticeable difference was the latency speed of the connection. When I click on a link on a web page, the page loads up as soon as the link is clicked. My old SB5101 modem would take a few extra milliseconds to load. What does this mean? If you play video games like Halo 3 via X-box or Call of duty, you will have a reaction time advantage against your competition. The clear negative of this product is that it takes longer to boot-up. If you power cycle the modem or if your internet service provider resets the modem, it will take two minutes to restart. It will take Comcast longer to recognize the modem when you call in to give the Mac address because when they reset the modem remotely, it will take two minutes for the modem to initialize. Once it is online it performs flawlessly. Anyone that buys this modem will benefit from the extra tweaks it has regardless if the are using a basic or super high speed internet service.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy setup, great so far!, June 10, 2009

By	Scott L. Elliott - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had the older SB5120 and lately I have had to restart the router about 2 times a weeks when I was using massive bandwidth.

The new modem works great with my Comcast service here in Olympia, WA. Took 5 min on the phone for the Comcast Tech to authenticate the new router.

By	Dan Wolfe (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

just made a quick call to comcast to give them the modem's MAC address and now my internet is blazing. I'm on the comcast 22Mb download tier but speed test is showing an average of 35Mb down / 6Mb up. really fast.
