The SB5100 is great, have it for two weeks and speed with Comcast in Chicago
area is great. Can address it using http://192.168.100.1/

If you have Comcast, you should be able to activate the modem yourself.
Wither your a new Subscriber or just swapping Modems. Plug your Modem, go
to www.comcast.net (I believe) You can't go anywhere else, and download the
setup software it'll be there right on the first Page. It's not the Normal
page you would go to when you type that address, and then just follow the
direction depending on New user or a current user. In fact I just did it
myself Last week when I upgraded my modem to the Motorola 5100. It was
quick and easy. Took Minutes not Hours.

I'm going to throw my hat into the ring for Motorola as well. As I have
VoIP with my cable internet service, I am required to use the cable
company's provided modems, but did try out the Scientific Webstar DBX2203
cable/VoIP modem. After a couple of weeks, I went back to using a Motorola
Surfboard SBV4200 cable/VoIP. The Surfboard simply proved to be much more
stable than the Webstar. The webstar also had a strange "jitterizing"
effect (robotic voices) during voice calls every now and then. I suspect it
was probably something with the analog/digital conversion. After switching
back to the Motorola modem, "RoboVoice" is gone. In fact, voice calls with
the Motorola even sound better than my old POTS line. I notice with VoIP, I
can hear my own background sounds that previously (with a regular phone)
weren't picked up. When talking to someone else that has VoIP also, it
seems you can hear background sounds at their end that would've been
filtered from a regular phone. (?) Maybe I'm imaging it, but seems logical
that the VoIP is digitizing sounds that are in frequency ranges that would
been filtered by a regular POTS line. (?) *shrug*

Cheers,
-Eric
