    I've bought a number of cable modems, both for installs and personal use, and have always had good results from Motorola. I'll use what ever the customer asks for but use these for myself. Reliable.

    This DOS 3.0 modem tripled my internet connection speed. Required phone calls to internet supplier for connectivity and Arris to get it operating properly.

    I got this modem so I wouldn't have to pay Time Warner their monthly "rental" fee. Though the Time Warner rep said I may have problems with a non-rental modem, I have had zero issues with speed or reliability.

    Great modem so far. Is as fast or faster than the modem I was leasing from my internet service provider and it will pay for itself since I no longer have the additional modem leasing fee from my ISP.

    I purchased this modem to replace the one I was renting from Comcast. The Sales associate recommended it and it has worked perfectly. It will pay for itself in 10 months based on the Comcast rental fee.

    Our computer would not work and we were told by Comcast that we needed a new modem. We researched on line to see what would be the best one for us and decide on this one. We hooked it up, contacted Comcast to have them activate the new modem and we were up and running again!

    This modem work as it should; however, if you have Comcast service. Make sure you connect your router to the modem, not the computer because will keep the first MAC address that came through the modem.

    I have used this modem for the past 4 years. Absolutely no issues. I have moved also several times and take this thing with me everywhere I go. Easy to install and when the power goes out, it gets up running quickly when it gets turned back on. Highly recommend! I recently had to update mine to a 3.1 since I was upgrading to the Gigablast with Cox. I went with Arris just because of how happy I was with this model.
