Walmart offers the Motorola ARRIS SURFboard SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem for $26.97 with free in-store pick up. That’s good for $62 off what Amazon still charges in new condition, $3 less than our previous mention and the best that we’ve seen.
This modem features DOCSIS 3.0 capabilities to ensure some of the fastest speeds available to consumers and can hit up to 172Mbps down and 131Mbps up. It is compatible with Comcast, Cox, Charter, Time Warner, Mediacom and Brighthouse services, although we recommend confirming with your service provider first. It is rated 4.3/5 stars by nearly 23,000 Amazon reviewers.
Motorola’s SB6121 is my cable modem of choice: I’ve owned this model for about a year and have found it to be a reliable product. Aside from saving money on the actual modem purchase itself, this deal also brings monthly savings in the form of avoiding rental fees from your ISP. I save $11 a month by owning my own modem instead of using one from my provider. This modem will pay for itself in less than six months in most cases. Learn more in our helpful guide.
A 90-day warranty is included.
