The Motorola has both USB and Ethernet connections so you can directly hook up 2 computers without having to buy extra networking hardware. Another nice feature is the STANDBY button at the top which you can use to temporarily cut off the internet. Also, it is relatively compact (roughly 6"H x 2"W x 6"D), so it won't take over your valuable desk space. Performance-wise, I can't say I noticed much of a difference from their old modem but cable bandwith can be variable depending on the number of users in the neighborhood. At least it wasn't any slower. Based on all this, I figured why buy a modem with older technology for more $$ that probably can't be upgraded when you can have the latest and greatest now for cheaper- a rare combination.
So far so good! Plugged this baby right in and its working great. No issues at all. If you are replacing a modem, just be sure to call your cable company to give them the new mac address on the bottem of it. On a different note, if your paying 5-7 bucks a month to your cable company to rent a cable modem, you are just throwing your money away. Do as I did, and buy yourself a cable modem. It will pay for itself in a few months.

Pros: a modem is a modem they say. This one is small, black in color and looks great compared to my old surf board modem. Love the STAND BY button that lets you disconnect the signal to the computer and or router instantly while the modem stays connected to th Cons: Minor con...No power on / off button and no reset button, if you need to reset your modem you need to unplug it.
