The Motorola is a good modem. Its actualy the modem that COX uses as their OEM modem here in New Orleans and they do work good but, I have a sugestion that might save you some cash and give you more options with all the bells and whistles.
The motorola modem usualy runs about $75.00 retail
Try this, It's way more reliable and faster!

I'm a network administrator at a very large church here in new orleans. I built the network from scratch. The property is half of an entire city block and has wireless throughout the whole property and also about six hard wired computers.
Our whole network is D-Link and I couldn't be happier with it.
It's extreamly reliable with lots of features on each peace of equipment.
D-link realy goes the extra mile on giving more options and speed than any other company.
Oh, and the tech support is top notch. Way better than Charter will give you with that Motorola.
