    Modem works like it should outbound.Have had no issues. The only con is that it wont link gigabit to my router. Still it is fast and my download speeds tested on speed test.com show it matches the plan I pay for.

    I replaced an old Motorola Cable Modem that was more than a few years old and have noticed a significant speed increase in my download speed. When Comcast upgraded our service a couple of years ago, they sent me a letter stating that my old modem could not combine multiple channels to take advantage of the higher speed. They were right! I should have purchased this sooner! We have 1 PC, 3 Macbook Pro laptops, 1 iMac, 1 iPad, 2 Xbox, 1 Smart TV, and 5 smartphones sharing our home network and haven't noticed any delays since switching to this new modem! Just open the new modem box, call your cable company to let them know you have a new modem, and then restart your router and connected devices and you will be "good to go". AND glad that you purchased this modem!

    I'm averaging about 80 kB/s download and 10 kB/s upload (fluctuates depending on time of day) through my ISP (Time Warner) on my 100 down / 15 up service, so it's doing a good job. Setup was relatively painless.

    The Motorola SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem has been around for a while and has stood the test of time. It is a solid performer, a great value, and it handles more bandwidth than you will probably ever need or use.

    Worth the money for the better modem, even over other motorolla units, great speed and ease of use. Motorolla knows what they're doing on modems, just avoid their routers. And it is compatible with Atlantic broadband service. Docsis 3.0 compatible, meaning your internet comes into the house via a coaxial cable, don't rent your modem from the cable company any longer! All you have to do to set up is call the cable company and give them a number off the side, plug in all the cords and voila... internet.

    Fantastic modem for the price. It works for almost all Internet service providers. Buy this, plug it in and save $5-$10 a monththat you pay for modem rental.

    This modem was easy to hook up, and so far has been working great! Only con is that it has blue blinking light that is ridiculously bright at night, and since I'm in a small apartment theres no room to hide it in.

    Very easy to install. Up and running in just a few minutes. Call cable company and they got it connected very quickly. It'll pay for itself in a few months. My speed is almost double than what it was before!

    I upgraded to this modem when we upgraded to Comcast high speed internet. It was simple to install. Comcast plugged right in, and then I connected to our wireless router. Seems very stable, and have had no issues.

So far no problems.2 months.

    I had an old motorola surfboard 5101 DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem, my ISP upgraded my speed and recommended a DOCSIS 3.0 so I chose this. I saw an immediate performance increase, and it seems like my internet is more stable. Been using motorola surfboard cable modems since my college days, sure it is ARRIS right now, but there is a reason they kept the name... That reason is marketing. Don't let me downplay it, this modem lives up to its lineage. Perfect if you need a DOCSIS 3.0

    These modems are a must for anyone with better than the basic cox cable data package. The older modems can't keep up with the faster speeds and tend to over heat. Great buy and great performance

    Up-to-date model for standard home use. Good quality, not very expensive. Easy to install, just plug in and you are good to go. With a separate router, it is better than the combo modem and router.

    I just plugged it in and it worked after I contacted my cable provider to have it registered in their system. No problems since installing. I would have preferred a dark grey or black color option.
