    Had to upgrade my modem and actually considered 2 other brands. But after reading the reviews and talking to a Best Buy employee I decided on the Surfboard. Easy to install and improved my internet speed considerably. Great for basic internet surfing

    Arris Surfboard Docsis 3.0 Cable Modem is a good product. It is compatible with Time Warner Cable and Spectrum. Bought it as an upgrade to my old Motorola Docsus 2.0 cable modem. Works definitely better than my old modem. Would recommend to a friend.

    Great Modem

    Swapped out my Comcast rental modem, was up and running in just a few minutes, and now I don't have to pay the $7 modem rental fee to Comcast. I'm provisioned for the 105/20 Mbps package and typically get 120/20.5 Mbps. This modem can utilize up to 8 channels of downstream for a theoretical max speed of 343 Mbps whereas the Motorola SB6121 and other earlier/cheaper DOCSIS 3 modems can only utilize 4 channels maxing your download speeds out at 172 Mbps. Just something to think about if you plan on using this modem for a few years as speeds offered will inevitably increase. Also, it *does* support IPv6 even though Comcast's page doesn't list it as certified yet. Motorola's data sheet specifically lists the SB6141 as IPv6 ready and tests with an Apple AirPort Extreme (v7.6.4) and MacBook Pro running 10.9 confirm this.
