I was having a strange issue, where if PC was connected to modem direct, all was fine....but when I introduced my router (Linksys WRT54G or WRT110), internet was flaky...and intermittent. It drove me nuts.
My friend recommended replacing the modem with a motorola.
Comcast had replaced twice with diferent brands, current being RCA. I purchased the Motorola SB6120 at BestBuy @ $99...and BAM! All is happy!!!

You'll save the $5 rental fee from Comcast...so it will pay for itself eventually...but worth it already.
