STORY TIME
Hang 10 Mbps! In 1995, as dial-up modems struggled to meet the growing demands of the web, Motorola launched a revolution: the CyberSURFR cable modem. With a surfer-inspired slogan and the promise of lightning-fast speeds—over 1,000 times faster than 14.4k dial-up—this sleek black box brought broadband to American homes, back when few people even knew the term.

The CyberSURFR allowed you to surf the web at up to 10 Mbps, using the same coaxial cable as your TV. With actual speeds often exceeding 3 Mbps, downloading videos, games, and music seemed like magic. No more busy lines, no more screeching modem sounds. If cable TV worked, so did the Internet. Among the early adopters: Comcast, Time Warner, Cox, Shaw, and even US West. The modem was simple: six LED lights, an Ethernet port, and automatic configuration.

For many, in the late 1990s, this little box was their first taste of fast, always-on internet, and there was no turning back. Before the DOCSIS standard went global, CyberSURFR dominated the broadband waves. And Motorola's marketing hit the nail on the head: surfboards, waves, and digital freedom. It wasn't just a modem; it was a true digital awakening. 🌊💻

Story Time

🏄‍♂️💻 Hang 10 Mbps!

In the mid-1990s, Motorola was a global technology giant, a leader in pagers, flip phones, two-way radios, and semiconductors. But change was happening fast: cell phones were going digital, the internet was growing, and dial-up was no longer enough. Enter the CyberSURFR modem. 🌊

Launched in 1995 with the slogan "Hang 10 Mbps," this sleek black box allowed you to surf the web 1,000 times faster than dial-up, using your cable TV lines. No more busy lines, no more screeching modem noises. Just plug it in, turn it on, and go. It was a concrete preview of the future of broadband.

🚀 Backed by Motorola's Multimedia Group, the CyberSURFR launched in cities across the country, with Comcast, Time Warner, Cox, Shaw, and @Home quickly adopting it. It could download video trailers in seconds and became the best-selling pre-DOCSIS cable modem of its era, with over 1.5 million units shipped.

But it wasn't just a product: it marked Motorola's bold move into the Internet Age. At a time when profits were declining and pagers were disappearing, Motorola went all-in on broadband. The same team also developed set-top boxes and voice/data devices that helped shape the first connected homes. 🏠💻

📱 Meanwhile, 1996 also saw the debut of the iconic StarTAC, the first true flip phone. Motorola continued to struggle and innovate, while Nokia and Ericsson gained ground. From analog pagers to 10 Mbps modems, Motorola's story in the mid-1990s is one of reinvention, resilience, and the ability to ride the digital wave at the right time. 🌐
