If you’re using Comcast for internet right now, you’re either renting a modem from them, or you’ve bought one. If you’re renting, chances are you’re paying around $3.20 per month for the privelege. In that case, your modem is likely a cheap Scientific Atlanta/Cisco model that you could get for $20 off of eBay.
But before you go and get the modem off of eBay, check this out.
The item in question is the Motorola SB (SurfBoard) 6120, a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem. Aside from being rather expensive (regular cable modems run around $50-$60 in stores), it’s pretty much future-proof as far as cable systems go. That’s what the DOCSIS 3.0 is for.
