Better get it fast! Can't go wrong with the modem for 40-50 bux
Whoops, slickdeals is running a sale on their site if you can find it in the "Hot Deals" area

Looks like Comcast pushed the new speed upgrades to my modem, just did a speedtest and got 181 Mbps / 12 Mbps. Glad I upgraded to the SB6141 (aside from the blinding blue LEDs on the thing).
Maybe a little late to say this, but don't bother with an SB6121 if you are buying a modem and you are on Blast! (or whatever they're calling they're equivalent tier now). Get a modem with at least 8 downstream channels (~350 Mbps max) vs 4 (~175 Mbps max), especially if you are planning on keeping it for several years.

I am holding off on my next modem upgrade, the new ones coming out next year will start to have 10gigibit Ethernet ports on them. I already have my 10gb switch in, so just need the routers and modems to catch up.
