    Not one review or info on the product mentioned that if you have a home phone thru comcast that this won't work. It has no phone jack. None sold at Best Buy will work with phone service except the $200 modem by comcast. If all you need is internet, then it should work fine.

    Sadly, I was midlead to this item; it does not have a telephone jack to provide access to the coaxial phone system my cable company uses. Therefore, it was returned for full credit, which was accomplished with great ease! Thank you.

    Best Buy was excellent with handling my exchange. This product was on sale and it was time for me to upgrade my modem, was fine until the power cord was blinking yellow and the modem would not turn on.

    This was the slowest chunk of junk I ever bought. I took it back and exchanged it for a plain ol' router. Modem combo until just don't work well. I found it is always better to have separated components.

    I bought this to use with brighthouse. It worked, but didn't seem to be any better then the cheapo they provided. Had to call brighthouse 3 separate times to re activit it, but that was a BH problem
