    It is a cable modem, there is nothing that special about it. Perhaps if I were using a higher speed package, it would get a chance to shine? We stream Netflix, youtube, and browse the internet normally. Netflix does at times, have to cache before giving full quality.

    Great Modem, but no place to plug in phone jack

    This modem has been great so far! I was able to lower my cable bill by purchasing my own modem, so it has already paid for itself. The only thing I didn't notice before purchasing, is that it does not have a place to plug in a phone jack, I don't use my phone (it's just part of my bundle) so I didn't mind.

    I refused to pay a cable company money to rent a modem! So off we go to Best Buy...ordered on line, picked up in store, one phone call to said cable company to give them the model#'s and other info and DONE!!!

    Very reliable product. Have been using it for quite some time now and it has never failed me. Only drawback is the limited WiFi range which I make up for by using a range extender.

    This cable modem is a simple device that in the end will save you rental fees. I just called my internet service provider and I was back online rent free in 5 minutes. It's been rock solid since my purchase.

    I bought this on the rec of a BB sales person to improve home performance with a Netgear router, and save on Xfinity fees, but really there was no change or a decline in performance and maybe I will save money in a few years - buying this though was a waste of money for us, as we get worse internet drops than before.
