I decided to buy a cable modem fro comcast service instead of renting it.
What model should be on my list to consider?

Motorola SB5100 if that's on their list. They're on sale with rebate
for like $50 somewhere this week (check BestBuy, CompUSA and Circuit City).

As a 3100 user , from times it was called surfboard, I definately agree.

Never had a problem with modem except couple of times turned out to be
ISP's admin playing around with config files.

Also this thing worked without UPS, for 3 years or more I must add.

Have a nice day

ps: be sure it has a ethernet connection, whatever you buy.

I just bought a Motorola SB5100 and am very pleased with it.

Me, too. Now to wait the 8 weeks for the rebate!
Must be a lot of this going on - it took Comcast several hours to get
around to activating it - but at least they were polite and
apologetic. As soon as they called me back it worked great.
It's connected to my wireless router, and I don't know if you can
address it - and if so how. No info in the docs or online.
