    This is a good cable modem and it's supported and sold by most providers, so there's no reason you should run into problems. Pretty much plug and play - I'd definitely get it again.

    With newer speeds coming out and modem lease prices rising I figured it was time to buy my own modem and this one does the job nicely!

    Had tried a netgear product in the past that was absolute garbage, so I decided to give this one a shot. This has been fantastic and could not be any happier! Thanks Motorola!

    When I purchased this modem, it was on sale for a limited time and I knew I had to have it based on my internet needs. I've seen great results with the improvement of my internet speed. Motorola makes a quality product, and I couldn't beat the price.

    This modem works great. We were able to return the modem we had been renting from our internet company, and it only took a few minutes to get the new modem working correctly.

    Great modem to use with Xfinity. Gives great speed,was easy to connect,and stays cool. My other modem would heat up and feel pretty hot sometimes especially in the hot summer days. I had no difficulty connecting this to my Netgear router was easily up and running as soon as i connected wires.

    Being one of the less expensive ones on the market, I didn't expect much. I ended up getting faster speeds out of my internet than what what I'm paying for! Pleasant surprise.

    I had just hooked up cable at a new residence and decided that I did not want to pay the $10.00 monthly fee to "Rent" equipment that was not even new in the first place. When the equipment is bad you have to wait several days for a repairman to come and fix it. With my own equipment it pays for itself within a year and it's free after that. Installation was a breeze and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

    Purchased this modem in order to stop throwing away $8 a month in modem rental fees. To my surprise, actually works better than the one the cable co provided!

    The modem works great. I've been using it for 5 weeks now and have had zero problems. It works every bit as good as the one I was leasing for $8/month from the cable company.

    Bought this to replace my old Webstar. It was very easy to set up, I've had no connection drops so far ..(6 weeks) I got a 30 MBPS package through Comcast and once I ran a speed test it read at about 28.5 MBPS download speed, I'm happy with it so far.

    Works very well and it basically pays for itself in the first year if you rented your modem through your cable provider. It was just under the amount I would've paid for a rental modem for a year. I've had it since May and I haven't had any issues.

    Great For Home----Don't Rent from You Know Who

    Bought this as a device to save money for a client not to have to continue to rent their device per month from the cable company. Buying this will pay for itself within a few months. The more important thing is that this device works as good if not better than the cable company's device. So you eventually save money and this works just as good. The question is: Why rent from you know who?
