    Bought this so I didn't have to rent one from Time Warner. It's been performing well for two years now. No complaints. (I bought the black version.)

    I needed to update my modem at the recommendation of Comcast. This was an affordable, easy to install, easy to use option.

    Great Basic Router

    The router works perfectly and I have had zero problems with it. I am using it with Xfinity and much better than renting theirs for $10 a month.

    Fast, fast, fast better than DSL smokes Clear

    Finally out of a Clear contract nightmare. I used to have SBC-DSL. This is 3X faster easy. Clear was unstable, unreliable, inconsistent. Well they were consistent about two things OVER PRICED and SLOW. TWC had to roll a truck though to finish the install and reset their hardware. 20 / 2 compared to CLEAR's advertised 10 / 1 that was at times worse than dial-up. I prefer to own my equipment rather than lease. Though a modem was provided in the plan I choose I prefer to own mine. I already had a dual band router which actually I will be upgrading to the new AC standard.

    Motorola surfboard modems were recommended to me by a cable technician and I have not been disappointed. Download speeds are where they should be.

    This was crucial for getting great speeds. Depending on your plan with your ISP, speeds should be way better than before.

    After being on my 2nd modem that i pay $5 a month for from Media Comm and the same issues started happening, a light went off that why would they rent the best equipment. i could not even stay on line long enough to pay a bill. Only draw back is i am not sure how i will handle my phone service and after being on hold for 20 minutes i decided to hang up. Maybe it is time i forgo my home phone. You will never get the best speeds using the supplied modem from your cable and internet provider.

    I connected this modem and i am getting same speed as i was with my Motorola 5101 which is a older modem and do not know if comcast has me at no more then 32 megs download or not but that is the fasted that i can download with my old modem and this new one so can;t really say if this modem is slow or not. I have it connected in my bedroom and i had to put it down behind my computer so it does not keep my room lit up light christmas becauae the lights are really brite on this modem. I will be returning it because i see not difference in speed.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
