Summary: Trustworthy modem
Review: I bought this modem over a year ago as an alternative to giving the cable company even more of my money via renting on of theirs. Ever since I plugged it in and got it activated it has given me zero problems. The only time it hasn't worked, it was because the internet itself was down.
I like the button on the modem that disconnects you from the internet. It takes maybe a second to connect/disconnect you and protect your computer from any unsavory types who are lurking out there.
I bought a new pc a few months ago and plugged in the modem and it was ready to go right then.
If you're forgoing the $5/mo. rental from your ISP, this baby pays for itself in about 18 months ... or less. And if you move, you can keep the thing, you don't have to give it back to the cursed cable co.

Summary: Superb Modem!
Review: I bought this modem to replace the one I had leased from AT&T Broadband (a SB4100).The SB4200 is super fast, very easy to set up, and because I keep my modem in a closet, what made it really good for me was that it is very slim and emits virtually no heat... If you lease a modem from your cable company I suggest you stop leasing and purchase this modem! In the long run you will save alot of money because you won't be paying the cable company to lease their modem. (Just remember to check with your cable company to see if the Motorola SB4200 is compatable with their network.) Happy Surfing!

Summary: Motorola has a winner
Review: I got this modem from Circuit City. This was the only cable modem they sell. I got it up and running in my first attempt.
My connection seem to be very fast.
This modem has a special standby button. I found it very useful. I can get on and off the Internet by a press of this button. This is a great security feature. I looked at several competitors offerings and none of them has anything like that.
I don't usually like motorola's products, especially cell phones but this cable modem is a keeper.

Summary: Motorola SB4200 a winner!
Review: I had an older Motorola cable modem and like others, I chose not to lease my now obsolete modem from Adelphia Cable at $5 a month and instead chose to buy a new modem. I'm happy to report the Motorola SB 4200 works perfectly, gives me faster speeds and is not prone to disconnects due to RF interference like my old modem, which would disconnect at the slightest electronic hiccup in the RF neighborhood. As a ham operator that is great news. I can now surf the net while running my Amateur radio equipment at 1500 watts output right next to the new cable modem. Thank you Motorola!

Summary: Good
Review: I had read the excellent Amazon reviews on Motorola SB4200 and decided to go with one. After I bought it, I plugged my cable service to my USB outlet on the modem, given my MAC and SN id to Comcast and voila within 5 mts, i was up and running. Its been excellent so far. Although, the only glitch (that i have yet to figure out) is that the Activity LED for some reason will stop blinking and my internet connectivity will enter a "freeze" state upon which i have to power off/on my modem. I cannot seem to ping my DHCP gateway during this state. Not sure if this is the Comcast or a Motorola glitch. Upon powering back on though, service is restored. I have had to do this atleast once a day. This is regardless of whether i use the STANDBY feature. I am hoping there is an easy fix for this.

Summary: Great Modem - No Problems
Review: I had this modem delivered to me when I signed up for Cable Internet with my provider...while it's true they performed the initial installation, I have uninstalled and re-installed the modem numerous times. (I often format my hard-drive, add new components etc...) I've installed the modem via an Ethernet Connection on Windows 98, ME, and XP Pro. And via USB on XP Pro. I have not once had a single problem with the installation. I've had the modem for around 6 months now, and well to be honest, it's been treated quite badly. I've dropped it...banged it...and well...sat on it (lol) but despite the horrific bashing it's taken, the little guy just keeps on goin'. In fact the hard plastic casing means it still looks as good as new! And to think all this from a low priced modem. The SURFboard 4200 seems to do the job quite sufficiently, and I thoroughly recommend anyone interested to go ahead and purchase it. It excels in every area and I haven't had one problem yet. But remember, be sure to check with your ISP to verify that they support this modem. Most do, but some can be a bit niggly.

Summary: Cable Modem that really delivers!!!
Review: I have cox high-speed cable access and have been through a few other companies cable modem rentals. This time I bought the Motorola after looking at several and the one feature that I didn't find on any other modem was the STANDBY feature. Just press the button on the top and put the modem on standby. It is a great security feature and I just don't see why more modems don't have it.

Summary: Recommended.
Review: I purchased this modem when I signed up for broadband Internet (cable) service. I have been using it for about two years now. I have never encountered any problems and it has never failed to function. The security "disconnect" function button on the top is a good idea. As a security precaution, I usually "disconnect" when I am not actually using my connection.
