Amazing Speed Improvement over DOCSIS 1.1
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: Amazing speed improvement over a DOCSIS 1.1 cablemodem.
Cons: I'd prefer blue indicator lights to match my Motorola Home Monitor.
After reading a few reviews at other websites, I decided to see if upgrading my Toshiba PCX1100 to the Motorola SB5120 would really add more internet speed and improve my Cox Cable signal strength.
Simply put ... WOW!!! Best $59 (after $20 rebate at Fry's)I've spend on any computer gadget this year.
Whether I'm loading a webpage, doing an email send/receive or FTP uploading pages to my website, it feels like I just doubled the speed of my entire computer.
Installation was a simple as disconnecting the old and connecting the new. Then I phoned Cox Cable tech support to change the MAC address. The technician rebooted the modem from his desk and I was instantly connected at Warp 7 speeds! Didn't even have to reboot the modem or my Windows Xp system.
