Summary: Not nearly as fast as a Motorola Surfboard SB5120
Review: I had purchased this unit from Amazon.com in January, 2005. Amazon had the lowest price I could find and free shipping as well at the time. Don't waste your time and purchase this unit unless saving desk space, an electrical outlet or having less cables hanging on the back of your computer is of the most importance to you! You would certainly be sacrificing connection speed to get all that! This modem is very noticeably slower than a Motorola Surboard SB5120, at least on MY Cox broadband connection! After 15 disappointing minutes I uninstalled the unit and software and put the surfboard back on. Within ten minutes I was fully recovered and happy to be speeding along on the Internet!

Summary: Zoom Cable Modem - Not My First Choice
Review: If you're considering purchasing a Zoom high speed modem, you may wish to wait. Users are reporting compatibility issues with some network providers. Symptoms include random loss of connection and poor speed (throughput). The problem seems to effect more than just this version of the Zoom cable modem. The problem has been confirmed by Zoom Technical Support. Zoom is working on resolving the problem but doesn't have a solution at this time.
