Summary: Die-hard cable modem, best in breed
Review: After having paid COX some $10 a month for rental of one of these, it became evident that this "investment" would pay off for itself in less than 9 months, and it's on its way to: I bought (a used) one earlier this year, and -as with the original leased one- I have had NO complaints about it whatsoever. It's super-easy to configure, in fact, I never had to resort to any drivers/software that it comes with, to get it to work in my Windows 2000 setup. I highly recommend it: best bang for the buck to get yourself high speed Internet access via cable modem. But first, make sure your home has such a service. It is worth to be noted that you can't do much with a cable modem and without the cable company to support high-speed internet access!

Summary: This is the one
Review: Bought the PCX1100u and when I got it found the simplicity and ease af installation. I've had it for three months now, and not one single problem with it. Windows xp instantly recognizes it and no need to install the cd that came with it.
I highly recomend this product for any one who wants high speed cable internet service and wants to save on their montly service. It pays for itself in about eight months.

Summary: PCX1100U installed with AT&T Broadband
Review: Bought this to replace a leased cable modem with AT&T (old modem: Nortel LanCity installed by ISP about 4 years ago.) Received the PCX1100 and installed it the same day with no problems. Logged into an online chat session with AT&T support - got it registered and activated in less than an hour. There was NO (i.e. zero) user configuration required - hardware or software. Just gave AT&T the ser# and MAC address, plugged in the cables, went to the AT&T registration website, and then waited about 20 minutes for them to activate it in their system before giving it a power cycle. At that point everything worked as normal, but faster. Configuration settings if any, were done by the ISP. As delivered it's just a black box to the user, although software exists on the web which allows access to the internal settings. QuickStart software CD-ROM delivered with modem for installation walk-thru, but doesn't access internals.

PCX1100 is noticeably faster than previous leased modem.

Summary: The best price for this item
Review: I bought this item because of the reviews and because people I know have it and rave about it. Even though I haven't received it yet, I am compelled to review the pricing. The best price I could find locally at COMPUSA was [price] ...[price] more than [Amazon.com]. Even with the 1-day express shipping I saved over [price].

Summary: Works great, good value
Review: I have the previous version of this product, which does not have USB connectivity. It works flawlessly. It more or less set itself up, I just entered some info from the cable company (AT&T Broadband), like the IP address and the mail server.

It has been on 24-7-365 since then, without a problem.

I generally get download speeds in the 700 kbps range, even though AT&T claims 1.5 Mbps downloads. But I don't think the bottleneck is the cable modem.

The price of this modem keeps dropping. ... I see it is well below that now, with extra features. You've got to love that.

I'd be quicker to buy this product because it is a Toshiba than something cheaper from a no-name company. The cost differential is not that high.

Summary: EXCELLENT MODEM
Review: I received this modem from Time Warner Cable. I use this modem for Road Runner High Speed Online. I have found that this modem is easy to install and there is only one thing to do to maintain it. Periodically the modem will run slow, because it is always on. All I have to do is to unplug the power, and then it runs fast like before. There is really only one essential thing you need to buy for this modem, it is called Norton Antivirus 2002. The reason why you should buy this is because with highspeed Internet the viruses will come into your computer faster. That is the only con about this product. I have had only one problem with it but is wasn't caused by the modem, it was Time Warner mistake. If you want this product call up your Time Warner company at 1-877-TWC-EASY or 1-877-TWC-FAST. Ask them specifically for the Toshiba PCX1100U. The other ones are not that great. Plus they really don't need to install it for you. All you need to do is connect the cable line to it, plug in the power, and hook it up to your Ethernet card, then you are ready to go.

Summary: Excellent and fast
Review: Ive had no problems with this modem. It is fast, sleek and easy to use. It comes with an easy-to-attach base to stand the modem up or can be flat on a desk.

Summary: DA BOMB!!
Review: OMG I just got this hooked up today. It has got to be the fastest cable modem I have ever used. I download on the average of 800Kbps but sometimes slower (where I'm downloading from has bandwidth limitations) I speed tested at circuitcity.com and cnet.com and both had speeds of over 2000 Kbps for my connection speed. It is blazingly fast. If you have cable or are getting cable you MUST BY THIS CABLE MODEM!!
