    I ordered this for my mother to cut back on her Xfinity bill. She has had it over 3 months and it is awesome. Now, she no longer has a $14.99/month fee for her modem.

    Love it. Used the xfinity for years. It worked very well. Bad side is xfinity jacks up the internet price for unlimited using your own equipment.

    This modem is awesome! I had been renting one from my cable company for an outrageous amount every month. The savings will pay for this new one in no time!

    Bought this unit to replace rented Comcast modem used for internet and landline. This combo unit does both very well, so I was able to drop the Comcast landline and install Ooma Viop, saving nearly $600 yearly.

    Works just the Xfinity one, Save the rental fee they charge enough as it is. If you do the Math it pays for its self in about a year and a half give or take.

    This router is better than comcasts. The fan is super quiet. You don't really hear it at all. The warranty is better too. Why buy or rent comcasts router when you can own a better one.

    Needed a modem with phone connection. I have Comcast for computer and Vonage for phone. Unfortunately, doesn't work for my phone. Salesperson didn't tell me that. Expensive for just computer.

    This unit is the very same as the one Xfinity leases to their customers. Over the term of your contract, you will have paid more renting this equipment than what Best Buy sells it for.

    Works at least as well as rental from comcast, so saving rental fee. It did not come with battery backup but has slot for a unique battery. The battery from the comcast rental Ariris doesn't fit in this one

    We needed something with a phone jack that would work with Comcast, this works well and not expensive. The only con is that it’ll take over 10 mins to completely reset the modem.

    This is the brand and model that Comcast uses, so I tried it. The first one lasted only nine months, but the product warranty covered the replacement cost. I hope this second has more longevity. So far, I'm quite happy with it.
