Customer Reviews

Modem GREAT. Just don't buy from Amazon.
This is a great little modem that takes me all around the interweb zip zip. Just don't order it from Amazon. Their seller, NYC Electronics, shipped it out minus the all important power cord. When this happens as I discovered, no power on earth can get either Amazon or NYC Electronics to send a missing power cord.

Eventually, it was not Amazon or NYC Electronics who made it right but Motorola who very kindly sent a power cord gratis. Bless Motorola. Boo Amazon and NYC Electronics.

It was a month before I was able to finally power up the modem and put it to use.

From now on I will limit my purchases from Amazon to CDs, DVDs and books.

Works Great
Quick delivery, easy set-up. Been using it for a week now and have had no problems.

RAPID
SINCE I WANT EVERYTHING YESTERDAY I REALLY LIKE THIS SURFBOARD MODEM FROM MOTOROLA. IT IS FAST
AND THE STAND-BY MODE IS A GOOD FEATURE.
