I've got a Motorola SB5100.  It was rock solid on Cox when I was living in Herndon (2004-2006).  Now I've got it hooked up to Comcast here in Sterling.    Every now and then I see short-term dropouts, but nothing I can't attribute to Comcast's network.

I've seen 2.5MB/s down "turbo-boost" sustained on Comcast.  (Cox didn't offer that level of speed when I lived in Herndon.)

I may have a spare (Zoom?) that I don't need.  You're welcome to try it.
