Cable Modems

[Jerry Feldman]

I have been on AT&T Broadband (nee Mediaone.net nee Highway1.net) for over 5 years, and I 
still continue to rent my Lan City cable modem which has had zero problems (they did swap an old 
one out that had an AUI connector). 

Looking at prices, the Linksys BEFCMU10 is selling for $104.95 at Amazon (free shipping via 
stage coach, no tax). The Toshiba PCX1100 is 149.99 ($149.99 at Best Buy), Motorola DOCSIS 
External Cable Modem (SB4100) for $129.95. 

All of the above are DOCSIS and certified by AT&T BB. In the past I have had very good luck with 
Linksys products. Does anyone have any personal experience with any of the above 3 good or 
bad. Amazon rates the Motorola with 5 stars. They also have a 3Com for about $90 (plus 
shipping) rated at 3 stars.
