I've used both Toshiba and Motorola. Both have worked well for me.

Someone warned me away from Linksys cable modems. Said they weren't very good, but didn't say why.

The motorola I use is a surfboard. Don't remember which one, though. I'll have to hunt for a little while to figure out about the Toshiba.

I have a Toshiba PCX1100 that I've been using without a hitch for around 5 years now, My bandwidth is 3mbs/256k.....

Almost all the ones that you buy now are pretty good. I personally have a Motorola in my home office and an RCA at my temporary home. They both work great and can be found cheap. I bought the Motorola off ebay for around $25 and the RCA from the local cable company for $45. If you are new to cable internet, some stores such as Best Buy, Circuit City, Soundtrack, will sell you the modem with a rebate that makes it free.
