Default Hi Guys Cable Modem Advice Needed

Hi,

I am a long time eurovoxer, and I have recently been messed about with my cable internet installation to the point where I ended up cancelling due to the crap customer service. (They cancelled my install and left me waiting all day for a non existant delivery and didn't even tell me!)

So, I know what can be done to get online. But, please can you recommend what is the best equipment to buy and who/where from please folks?

Thanks in advance!

For your help: A funny pic!

Motorola SB5101e with haxorware firmware.
its the only firmware in active dev and has the best features, the 5101e will also work on any part of the virgin media network (docsis/eurodocsis depending on if you are ex c&w or not) and all the leds work correctly on the motorola (the lights dont work on other BCM3349 modems, but still works correctly, i.e the ambit 250/255 and webstar 2100r2)

ebay or someone on here.

Thanks for the advice mate.

Do you know of a place I can get one of these badboys in London for CASH? I'd like one in time for Christmas and don't trust the post at this late an hour.
