From what I have read on modem forums, this Motorola modem (which is a misnomer for this type of device by the way), has the ability to be hooked up to internet service cable connections with speeds up to 100 Mbps.  Cox Communications just started offering 25 Mbps download/3.5 Mbps upload with 28 Mbps Powerboost to their customers with the purchase this modem.  The monthly charge for this service is $79.99 per month, not including the separate purchase of the modem.  The nice thing for people that want higher internet speed, is that you can keep this modem when Mbps speed increases become available from ISPs throughout the years.

I've been with Comcast for like 4 years, and I have some motorola "Surfboard" modem. Would I have to get a new modem through comcast, or would I be able to just go out and buy one to replace the old?

Im sure the link meant to say SB6120 and not SB610. Also I find it odd that this post comes out now since this modem has been available since early March. I also find it odd that Ambit and Scientific-Atlanta also have a DOCSIS 3.0 modem out for the same amount of time. MAXPC what's up? Did you find your AP post of this news under the desk? Just kidding. LONG LIVE BOOT!

When I was reading this I was thinking "God this thing is gonna cost a ton and nobody is going to adopt it for a long time" and then I get to the end and it's $100.  Why would anyone invest $50-$75 in a DOCSIS 2 modem now? It's about time that something that helps you adopt the latest technology also doesn't make you take out a second mortgage on your house.
