I switched the SB5100 with a Linksys BEFCMU10 cable modem, and the problem disappeared immediately! I had just switched to the Motorola that same day, and I thought that the problem was either with my ISP or I just had never noticed it before (I don't usually surf and talk at the same time). But now I'm convinced it was the modem. Incidentally, the Vonage tech support rep suggested that I upgrade the firmware of the Motorola cable modem due to "known issues." It turned out that I had the very latest firmware already. Note the irony, by the way, that a Linksys modem worked better with a Motorola ATA (the VoIP device) than a Motorola modem.
It's too bad I had this problem, because I think the voice quality using the SB5100 (when it worked) was actually better than with the Linksys, and everything else about the SB5100 worked fine, too. So, if you're not interested in VoIP, I suppose I would recommend this modem.
