So I'm looking into replacing my existing cable modem, right now I have a Linksys unit. My research shows the Motorola SB6141 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 to be a very good unit.
Wondering if any one here is using this unit or feel free to make another suggestion.
FYI - I my pipe line is 50/5 mbps, hence the DOCSIS 3.0

Well sadly after triple checking with my ISP, they are not as of yet supporting the SB6141. They do claim to support the SB6120 & the SB6121 (only if the SB6121 is has the updated factory-installed firm ware

I'll update this just in case anyone else is interested.
I ended up going with the Motorola SB6142 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0, been using it for a while now & am thrilled with the results I've gotten from it.
I've had rather nice increase in booth my Up & Down & so far it's been steady as a rock.
 
I've been using the SB6120 for some time now. It works nicely. If I upgrade my service level I might get a newer one. But the one you got should do great.
 
I have the SBG6580 from my ISP and though I'm sure it's fine, I prefer to run it in bridged mode to my WRT54G with DDWRT firmware. It can be a PITA to setup, but it seems to perform better this way, and managing things like port forwarding and DDNS is much less hassle.
