What You've Just Bought!

Re: The What You've just Bought thread!

Just bought this to replace my busted Comcast Ubee modem.

MOTOROLA SB6121 SURFboard Cable Modem RJ-45 - Newegg.com

Originally this was going to be a "purchase/return" to Walmart since I couldn't get a replacement Ubee modem yesterday, but now that I've tried it out I think I'm keeping it. I went to the next speed package to take advantage of a promotion, and that plus replacing my modem/router setup has effectively doubled my speed (at least). I used to pull a max of 1.8MB/s in uTorrent, now I pull up to 3.7 to 3.8MB/s.

Upload had bursts of up to 22mbps.

All stock modems blow. Even the ones that come with FiOS.

I have the 6141, it's white and I like it. Those motorola modems are o.k. by me. (I have the retail model)

Using the 6580 myself. The wireless is meh on it, but it works pretty good.

Nice bezel, shame about 1080p though.

The lovely thing about having the silver rewards is that I have a 60 day return window. So if I don't like it, they go back

Dat bezel.

Kinda confused, cus when you look at real life pictures of it...

Bezel seems much more like my monitor. I think they have done the trick where the glass goes right to the edge, with 2 or 3mm of bezel. But then there is a bezel under the glass, flat against the side of the panel, which is only apparent when you turn it on.

edit:

Yep it's the exact same thing they did on mine.

It's now less impressive.
