I recently changed over to the Motorola SB5120 Surfboard Modem, and my download speed spiked to about 300 KB/s. Same thing with my friend except even lower speeds.

The best thing about it (and most important for a non-techie user like myself) is that it comes (ALMOST) complete and is generally easy to install. An included CD shows installation steps; however, there is an overemphasis on desktop vs. laptop computers. ... Read More
