The reason I'm on here is I'm looking for a replacement to mine, the one I was renting from Cox, which died after about 5 months- of course, who knows how long it was used by someone else. But it's not the first time a Toshiba product has acted up in our house. I'm going to try a different manuf.
Excellent and fast

Ive had no problems with this modem. It is fast, sleek and easy to use. It comes with an easy-to-attach base to stand the modem up or can be flat on a desk.
Could be great but ......

When the Toshiba modem is running, it is running great. However, one thing that the Toshiba modems suffers from is packet loss. This particular model is very sensative to RF signal noise. Because of it's sensativity to RF siganals, you will experience lags of 15 to 25 seconds because of packet loss. Other modems that I have tested are not as sensative and don't suffer from this problem. I would still recommend this modem if you only surf the net. However, if you plan on using this modem for gaming or streaming content off of the web, stay away.

Quite simply one of the easiest installations for your computer today. Literally remove from box, hook to cable line, plug into the computer, call cable company, and 5 minutes later done. Company needs the MAC address of the modem, which is supplied nearly everywhere you look in the box. Takes roughly 5 minutes for the company to enter the MAC address and have the system recognize your new modem. And finished. Period. It's that easy.
This is the one

Bought the PCX1100u and when I got it found the simplicity and ease af installation. I've had it for three months now, and not one single problem with it. Windows xp instantly recognizes it and no need to install the cd that came with it. I highly recomend this product for any one who wants high speed cable internet service and wants to save on their montly service. It pays for itself in about eight months.
Works well for me. Came with free Norton software

I received this modem from Time Warner Cable. I use this modem for Road Runner High Speed Online. I have found that this modem is easy to install and there is only one thing to do to maintain it. Periodically the modem will run slow, because it is always on. All I have to do is to unplug the power, and then it runs fast like before. There is really only one essential thing you need to buy for this modem, it is called Norton Antivirus 2002. The reason why you should buy this is because with highspeed Internet the viruses will come into your computer faster. That is the only con about this product. I have had only one problem with it but is wasn't caused by the modem, it was Time Warner mistake. If you want this product call up your Time Warner company at 1-877-TWC-EASY or 1-877-TWC-FAST. Ask them specifically for the Toshiba PCX1100U. The other ones are not that great. Plus they really don't need to install it for you. All you need to do is connect the cable line to it, plug in the power, and hook it up to your Ethernet card, then you are ready to go.
Die-hard cable modem, best in breed

After having paid COX some $10 a month for rental of one of these, it became evident that this "investment" would pay off for itself in less than 9 months, and it's on its way to: I bought (a used) one earlier this year, and -as with the original leased one- I have had NO complaints about it whatsoever. It's super-easy to configure, in fact, I never had to resort to any drivers/software that it comes with, to get it to work in my Windows 2000 setup. I highly recommend it: best bang for the buck to get yourself high speed Internet access via cable modem. But first, make sure your home has such a service. It is worth to be noted that you can't do much with a cable modem and without the cable company to support high-speed internet access!
Reliable

That's the best thing you can say about a modem--it always works.
I previously leased the same model [only difference was it was horizontal instead of vertical] and never had a problem with it either. According to my local AT&T cable modem tech, he recommended this model as the best for use with Mac as well.
Only minor complaint is that it doesn't have any power switch--ust the usual plug in the back.
Now if only other equipment worked this reliably.....
