Comments about Zoom Telephonics Zoom 42M External Cable Modem:

Bought this when the second leased modem from Comcast gave it up. Installation on a home network with a Linksys WRT54GL router was no problem at all. Unlike the original leased Motorola or the replacement leased RCA/Thomson, the Zoom doesn't provide a status page that can be viewed in a browser to show errors and warnings, but that's not very important for me.

Comments about Zoom Telephonics Zoom 42M External Cable Modem:

I just bought this modem this morning at my local Staples and it was a breeze to set up. I didn't use the usb setup option so I didn't have to install any of the software that came with it. I already noticed a large difference in speed as compared to the WebStar modem I was using that was supplied by Charter. (that modem kept getting disconnected as well) So far I have already been able to download music, surf the net, and watch an entire movie on Netflix without any disconnections. If you are on a budget and want a good connection to internet then this modem is the one for you.

By TrevorVerified Buyer from Fenton, MI on 11/17/2009
Pros:
Easy To Setup
Describe Yourself:

Primary use:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Zoom Telephonics Zoom 42M External Cable Modem:

I wanted a product that would combine cable Internet and Phone service. The ad said this modem would do both, but alas, there was no port for the phone so I would have had to buy a separate modem. Unfortunately I will just keep renting.
