Motorola SB6120 and Phone service: Does the Motorola SB6120 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 eXtreme Broadband Cable Modem support the use of telephone services over cable?

how about splitting the coax, so data goes to the SB6120 and phone com goes to the comcast hardware that controls their phone? your comcast central office has to provision the SB6120 for the data and do a separate one for the phone. then again, your comcast might be one of the poor Comcast service areas like a friend has had in Sycamore Illinois. I haven't had too much trouble in California when asking for changes in the service setting up... good luck

I don't see it listed. Check out: http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net/ I currently use an older Arris model for telephone and a newer Ubee docsis 3.0 modem for everything else with a Netgear router. I suppose at some point I'll replace all those with an as yet unknown unit that combines them but I'm in no hurry.

No, this does not include a modem. Motorola makes a nice DOCIS3 modem and sold by Amazon

Thank you so much! That was very helpful! Do you know if you get the same Open Office on the 4G Surf?

If you have high speed internet and phone through Comcast, then this type of modem router (DOCSIS 3.0 with wireless N and phone jack) could be what you're looking for. The brand though, it depends on if Comcast supports Ubee. Some areas I've heard they do, you should double check on their website.

We have (VOIP) Voice Over Internet Protocol with our present cable company and replaced our old Panasonic phones with this new set by plugging directly into the router in our AT&T service. We are very happy with the phones' reception over the Internet. I hope this answers your question.

This model is working fine for internet, but my phone service does not work. Comcast and I both did a reset - I was told that I need a technician to install? Chat personnel said that I was not sychronized. Has anyone found out how make telephone service work?

Good question. Any modem that your Internet Service Provider (or ISP) qualifies to work in unison with its service. Personal preference of some is to lease the ISP modem. Motorola is good FYI.

I don't know if this answers your question, Andy -- but I do SKYPE with my homies back East -- crystal-clear video AND audio -- and I also run daily VOIP tests at this site: whichvoip(dot)com, with excellent test results. MY SB6120 has met every challenge for over a year, faithfully and flawlessly. I'm on COX Cable --20/2 package.

It will work just fine but it is getting past the tier 1 tech support the real issue. Any DOCSIS 3.0 modem will work but they go by the book and say it won't. You can request to be sent to a higher tech support or just tell them it is a "SB6141" model. All they really need to do is register the "MAC address" on the bottom of the modem and you are done. I already already installed over 9x SB6180 modems.

We have Charter Internet and SWB land line. We were unable to get it to work reliability at all. And the land line that did work had to be very close to the Internet connection. I don't know if this answers your question or not. Sorry.

Sbv means surfboard voice I believe. Yes that is right. I bought one only to find time warner cable won't let me use the telephony feature on it. They insist on us using there telephone modem. But it is a nice modem.

Yes. Ethernet is a networking standard so this will work with any DSL/Cable modem. If your modem has a wireless router built in you may want your ISP to replace it with a standard modem. I am using this with an Arris TG862g. Should work fine with any SB6120, 6121, 6140, 6180 etc. If you have an SBG6580, you'll want to have it swapped for a non-wireless modem.

If I am correct about the modem you are asking about, these are two different types of modems. The ADSL2 is for someone with DSL Internet service which is obtained over the telephone line. The Netgear Modem 3.0 is a DOCSIS type of modem designed for broadband cable internet, as in received over a coaxial cable such as a cable TV provider utilizes. Since I don't own a cable broadband modem, I couldn't say whether it is better than the ADSL one I purchased or not.

You would need to connect the modem to a telephone line. So telephone service would be necessary.

No, this device is not a telephony cable modem. This device has Ethernet (RJ-45).
