I was renting the Motorola Surfboard 5120 (SB5120) from Comcast for $5/month. This seemed reasonable to me up until I found this modem for $30 including shipping. I will make my money back on the purchase in 6 months. Excellent deal!
As others have mentioned all you have to do is call Comcast to activate this modem by giving them the MAC address. It is both on the box, and on the unit itself. This process took me a grand total of about 15 minutes once I opened the box.
This modem has plenty of speed out of the box. In response to other's getting up to 30 Mb/s, this is not going to be a cap on the modem's ability. This instead is a cap limited by your service provider. This is a DOCSIS 2.0 Modem, which means it can handle up to 42.88 Mb/s raw throughput (including overhead) or more simply 38 Mb/s (usable data). For me, I pay for 12 Mb/s on Comcast, and have seen this modem getting upwards of 14 Mb/s, although this says nothing as to what the modem itself can handle. It's just Comcast not limiting me strictly enough to what I've paid for.

Purchased this cable modem to save $5/mo on my cable bill. Product was easy to install; just gave it's MAC to the Charter Cable tech on the phone and he modified my account. It will pay for itself in less than 6 months.

I got this installed in place of my MOT SB5101; my ISP is Comcast.
After testing it appears that the [...] yields different results
on download from 6Mz to 16Mz depending on time of day. DSL reports testing gives
about a 40% speed increase. So, it does appear offer superior speed to the
SB5101. Also, the error rate on packet reception is significantly lower.

I ordered 2 on Thursday 4/22/2010, received today(4/27/2010). Hooked the first one up at 3PM, but couldn't get online so I called Charter Cable at about 5:30. Don't waste your time with the automated service, just ask for an agent. I wasted 10-15 minutes with the auto service. You'll need to give the MAC Address to the agent(this is the Second line on the bottom of the unit). The first modem, that had been hooked up since 3PM, worked right away, but the second one didn't. The reason was, I gave the agent the MAC Address without having the unit hooked up to the system first. I told him this might be the problem, so I hooked it up and sure enough, he re-enters the MAC number and it appears on his screen. Now I have 2 modems for less than the price of one at Best Buy. Also, they have a 90 day Warranty from Cisco-Linksys(almost all refurbs I've ever seen do). The bottom of my invoice states "Linksys offers a 90 day warranty on all their refurbished products. You may contact Linksys with any warranty issues. In the event that Linksys can not help you, we will honor the terms of the warrranty!". Linksys sells this same item on their website(found it through Bizrate). I had already bought it here for around the same price. If it dies before 90 days are out, I'll repost it.

Nice stuff here. I bought this for the same reason most others are doing so: To save money on usurious modem rental fees slipped in by default from most cable providers, and to not pay full price for an otherwise boring, unsexy, unnoticed piece of hardware. Success on both ends. Just remember, before you realize that there's no returns on this baby and throw it against a wall in frustration, that you must REGISTER YOUR NEW MODEM'S MAC ADDRESS WITH YOUR PROVIDER!!! Duh!!! (It's written on a label in teeny, tiny print underneath.) Just give your ISP a phone call.
Minor Downsides:
*It's DOCSIS 2.0 compliant...good, but DOCSIS 3.0 is here in many areas. Still, I get crazy fast speeds promised by DOCSIS 3.0 (which isn't in my area yet) anyhow, so whatever. It'll still work after upgrades anyhow.
*It's "Link" light keeps blinking no matter what, in contradiction to what its somewhat skimpy online only documentation literature claims it should do. A bit confusing if you at first have configuration issues. No matter, it works.
*It's a "No Return" situation, though I think the simplicity of these items is such that you shouldn't have to worry about getting a lemon. So cheap, anyhow. Check the new-item prices and decide.
*It keeps going down in price! I know, that's an upside for you, but I paid almost $30, so boohoo for me.
In the end it's just as good as the Motorola Surfboard which Comcast sneak-rented to me for a year. Buy this and save some money!!!
