Lynksys, A brand name I always trust for quality. The one I ordered was defective, But don't fret thats a rare for this company. Linksys has been int the networking business for a long time now and I will continue to buy their products, and I think you should to.

If you buy this modem, don't be surprised to have your Windows XP crash on you!!
Have you ever tried Linksys support - lets just say NOW I have grey hairs! :-)

I returned the Linksys BEFCMU.10;ver2, because I didn't check which version Linksys modem was compatible with my local cable company's system before I purchased. This version(#2), at the time I purchased, wasn't. Had it been compatible, I'm sure it would've worked fine. I've not had any trouble with Linksys products in the past. I've rated this modem with a 3 as I wasn't able to test it.

I cant wait till my modem arrives. I had DSL here in Northern VA for a while, but the speeds were not going to well. I switched to Cox Internet service. I must say at the begining i thought it was much worse than the DSL. Glad to say latley i have been getting consitant 1mbs speeds and sometimes a little under two. I have all Linksys equipment, Cable Router, Switch, Hub, Wireless Lan, KVM. No problems in 5 years of equipment use.

The Toshiba-yuk modem that i have now just has no features. I think that the Linksys modem actually will connect to cable router at 100mbs, and if it does, I would like to see if I get any true performance diffrence.

Anyway, I can say $10 a month on a company I have had good experience with.

If you want to use the internet, don't buy this piece of **^$&&*(.
