Summary: MEH
Review: arhg. i don't know if it's because of previous abuse or overuse from another customer, but the pcx2500 that was provided my isp craps out on me ALL the time. about twice a week, i get HARDCORE packet loss and pings in the high 200's in online games and slow browsing. download speeds stay high, but continuous connection to online game servers SUCKS! i power cycle and RE power cycle often, but to no avail. when it works, it's mediocre, i get higher than average pings to most online game servers, and i'm supposed to be on a 3 mbit down 286kbit up line. i have a brother 1000 miles farther away that's getting half my ping.
i do NOT recommend use, and DEFINITELY do not recommend purchase of one of these modems. i've confirmed this with my isp, they say my line speeds and signal strength are great, but my modem is reporting high ammounts of loss. pinging 100's to the first hop on a traceroute! ugh. i'm buying a motorola surfboard tomorow.

Summary: Rock Solid!
Review: I use RCN broadband and this modem is rock solid. It has never locked up on me, and does not require frequent reboots. About once a month or so I'll cycle the power on it just because my cable provider says to do so. But I have absolutely no complaints about the modem itself. I've had it for 2 years, and never had any troubles with it.The highest speed I've gotten from my connection using this modem is 755kb/5500kb
