This Modem is thankfully smaller than the Bulky Monster of a Modem that I was renting for so long from Comcast. It is cute, compact , compatible with the whole PC connection system , easy to install & All I did was call Comcast Cable company to get Activation. It's Excellent ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Tired of paying my ISP to rent one of their modems. Lots of research and this one just kept coming up on top for me; reliable manufacturer, good reviews by others, ease of setup, built for the future with 8-up 4-down bonding. Works just like promised with never a hitch. My only complaint is, as others have mentioned, the lights are irritatingly bright; this I solved by mounting under my desk where it is out of sight. TIP 1: Make sure you purchase this "Retail Packaging - White". Don't try to save the few bucks buying the black version; all my research shows they are refurbished rentals from ISP providers and the common complaint is that they stop working about the time the warranty expires. TIP 2: Make sure your ISP supports the firmware. My cable company does not specifically show this model but it supports the same model two generations back - close enough. All I did was a Google search " modems supported by mediacom des moines" (my ISP, my city). Take the time to do your research. I did and I'm VERY happy (except for the irritating lights). TIP 3: One mis-notion: Just because this modem is "state-of-the-art" for home use, don't expect speed increases just by swapping modems. (Though my wife and I swear our pages load faster even though speed tests show the same up/down rates as before.) You have to up your internet package (dollars) to do this. One month update - as pleased today as the day I set it up. Never a bump or a glitch. Eight months and I'm as happy as the day I set it up! A year and a half - I'm still as happy as the day I set it up!
