I thought i saw some for pretty cheap on newegg iirc.

When i get back from my deployment Cox gave me a 3.0 one when i set up my internet again. I hate cox but the DOCSIS 3.0 modem is pretty nice.

Who is your ISP? If you shop around you can usually find it them for roughly half that price. It's definitely worth a consideration if your service supports it.

My computer finds cures for diseases and searches for aliens when I'm not gaming...what does yours do?

Those are awesome speeds.. I hate living in Iowa sometimes.... We have ONE choice here.... $100.00 a month of 10MB/1MB is the fastest I can get... Well at least it's fiber to the home so my speeds never fluctuate.. Oh and no cap...

I'm personally going through fits trying to get my Steam account downloaded again onto a 3tb hd. If DOCSIS 3 will make that faster, all the better. Steam is currently calling out at 3.5MB/S.

Nice speeds, but seeing your game list, that can take a long time, and if they cap you holy smokes.

Never heard of COX capping but who knows. It's going to probably take all 3TB. I'm half way done and it's already at the 1.5TB mark.

SB6120 $75 at Amazon.
Mine was doing 60/4 until Comcast changed the channel bonding or something. Still smokin' (compared to DSL anyway) and I pay Comcast $77/month for this and digital cable. [edit] Including a high-def box, high-def DVR, and 3 DTAs.
Why does everyone hate the cable company?

Because of the symmetrical bandwidth and that they're pro-rating the bandwidth for-profit use. That symmetrical upload speed is important.

I used to get some fantastic speeds. Then last week I lost the connection to my modem that I fixed just by power cycling and now I can't get but but what is "advertised speeds". Here are some of my speeds on a 3.0 modem which is the Cisco DPC3010.

I have a 30/5 package on D3 for $60 a month, it's pretty nice.

The ISP gives the D3 modem for free though (Time Warner) and there is no rental cost.

The reason you need a D3 modem even for speeds like this is because for the upload, they use 2 channels and D2 modems can only utilize 1 upload channel. So when I plug a D2 modem into my net connection I only get 30/3 instead of the 5 upload I get with a D3 modem.

What will be nice is when Cox updates to the 8 channel down stream and 4 channel upstream. Currently is 4 channel down and 1 channel up. Once they release this the total overall bandwidth is going to allow for 100/25 Mbps. Not too sure if other DOCSIS 3.0 modems will do this but the Cisco DPC3000 and DPC3010 do have the ability to do so.
