    Excellent Cable Modem For Nongaming Use

    I am not a gamer so I don't need the newer very high speed modems. But with Xfinity and this modem, I am getting lightening fast downloads. The modem got excellent reviews on line and I have to agree. If you want the newest, fastest, latest and greatest, this might not be the modem you want. If you want an excellently built modem and fast speeds for non-gaming, at a very reasonable price, this modem fits the bill!

    I'm using this modem for my TWC service and it performs very well. I do have an occasional sync issue, but that may be linked to the service itself. I have the 100MB service so having the gigabit option is a must to get the most out of the service.

    I bought this and a self install kit at Best Buy. No employees at BB asked for any personal information regarding the self install kit, which I thought was weird. The self install kit wasn't needed since I called Comcast directly. (I returned the self install kit.) Once I got home, I called Comcast and was up and running in about 30 minutes after a soft credit check. When I received my first bill, there was a charge for a self install kit. No big deal as I had done some research and was completely expecting the 'need' for a self install kit even though all it consists of is some coaxial cable and a splitter, all of which I already had. So far, so good. I use my Xbox slims as media center extenders in the front of the house and in the back of my house. I can watch on demand stuff all day long on both of them with no problem. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and since I hate paying rental fees on any equipment, this was more than ideal. I would recommend this to anyone that feels as I do about renting subpar equipment from service providers.

    Other modems kept dropping off. This has been seamless for the last 2 months of use. Would recommend it. Its a little more expensive than other models in the market, but is worth the extra cost.

    This couldn't be any easier to setup. Even my 5 yr old could do it! It works exactly S advertised and delivers great throughput for a good price. Much cheaper than "renting" a modem!

    I purchased this so I could return the rented modem we had to Time Warner. This was very easy to set up, practically just plugged it in and it was done! I had to call Time Warner to register the unit and it works like a charm! The worst part of the whole deal – calling Time Warner! The best part – not giving them another cent!! I recommend this unit.
