Vonage GET AN SB5100 I replaced the 3+ year old Comcast provided Motorola modem with

GET AN SB5100

I replaced the 3+ year old Comcast provided Motorola modem with a Motorola SB5100 I bought at Walmart for $29 after rebate, last August. Next month it will have paid for itself in what I had been paying in rent. The old comcast provided modem had gotten so bad that it would drop at least once a day. The interesting thing was when I turned the old modem in at the comcast office I told the lady at the counter that they might not want to reuse it as it had been giving me all kinds of trouble. She told me that the model I turned in was giving everyone trouble "All of a sudden".
Since I have had the SB5100 I have had one 12 hour outage, and that was the 12 hours immediately following Hurricane Charlie which hit Port Charlotte just 10 miles from me. So I don't think the SB5100 had anything to do with that.

We got the 4M/384K upgrade a couple of weeks ago, rebooted the SB5100 and I got a 3896/327 speed test right off the bat.

I have had Vonage now 3 days shy of a month and haven't had a single outage or issue.

Odds are if you have an old Comcast modem of 2 years old or older it's only DOCSIS 1.0 compliant and not 1.1. A 1.0 compliant modem won't be able to do the upgraded speeds and be stuck at the old 1.5M/256k.

Also get yourself a small UPS to run the cable Modem and router off of. It will save you haveing to reset everything if there is a brief outage or a "flicker". The old modem would get completely hosed by a power flicker, and I would have to spend 15 minutes getting it going again. Something like a back UPS 500 or 725, I use a 725 and it has lasted an hour after the power went out.

I find many times even if the power goes out for the whole neighborhood, I can still using my laptop and surf the internet via comcast until the power comes back on or I turn everything off. I have the cordless phone plugged into a UPS 500 and last week we had two "flickers" while I was using Vonage and the call never dropped.

My setup:
Motorola SB5100 ->(WAN Port) NetGear WGR614 Wireless Router (LAN Port)<- (WAN Port) Linksys RT31P2
