works great with charter and multiple users
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.was easy to setup--with computer off-plug in to wall, connect cable wire, turn on computer, done!! if you have router, then connect that after initial setup is complete. simple! works with charter communications in MA. I want my own modem, not theirs. I've always had my own, but they said i had to have theirs, cuz it was now using Docsis 3.0 and mine was only 2.0. I tried theirs, kept loosing connection, made them take it back (loop hole - i've had mine since before 2012, so they couldn't refuse me my own again). This Motorolla works great so far, glad i got it!! there is a notice in speed, but not mind-blowing.IMPORTANT - have 2 ps3 consoles, 3 ipods, 1 laptop, 3 desktops all working with this modem and wi-fi router and still no issues!!

Does the job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this modem online with in-store pickup after I upgraded my internet service plan. Easy to set up and configure. Reliable and fast, no issues thus far. My only criticism is with the in store pickup. Every time I go into this particular store, I feel as though I'm standing around like idiot until someone offers to assist. This last time, the employee servicing the pickup register was on the phone for a good 10 minutes before acknowledging I was even there....smh.

Cheaper than renting
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't let Comcast fool you into thinking you have to rent a modem from them. They have a list of all compatible modems (which their rep said didn't exist, but I later found it myself - right on their website) and this is one of the more recent models that are compatible. At rental fees of $30 a month, buying one of these up front will save you in the long run. You will have to call Comcast after installing to register the mac address of the modem but that's it.

Replace your Cable Modem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The monthly charge for my Time Warner cable modem was going to be increased from $6 toy $8 per month. I read an article recommending supplying your own modem. The Time Warner web site recommended this modem would work on their system and it does. I do not have to reset the modem every couple of weeks. The speed and reliability is fine with no problems. Save yourself $$$. If it gives trouble in a couple of years, just buy a new one. Installation is easy.

Quick, easy, and fast speeds.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My previous modem wasn't that old so I really wasn't expecting much of a speed boost. But my speeds have been consistently two to three times faster since installing this modem. The lights on the front are brighter, too, so I can easily tell if my internet connection isn't the best it could be because the connection light switches to an amber color. Even then the connection is great and reliable, it just lets me know that it's not at peak speeds.

Works as expected!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device was easy to install and works as it is suppose to. No negatives as far as I can see but we have only had it for about a month. Saves us from renting it from Time Warner and will pay itself off after a year of use - which seems a bit long for an item like this. Just hope it lasts that long otherwise we will lose money on the purchase technically.

Excellent performance and easy set up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works perfect with my Comcast Xfinity service. The modem is in their approved modem list. After the install was performed at my home the same day I contacted Comcast and had this modem activated. The whole set up took 10 minutes. I am well satisfied with this High-Speed Cable Modem.

Does the job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fairly priced. Simple setup and install; plug it in, connect to router, done*. (Of course, it would be quicker to set up 100% if the ISP bothered to tell you how to register it with them beforehand, to get online access quicker with it.) Three modems carried by Best Buy are on Cox's "Approved Modem" list. I went with this one because I know it will last a good while, like the older model I was using.

Easy Breezy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this on recommendation of a cable tech, When we brought it home it was easy to set up and to connect to our cable. With the installation of this little unit we are looking forward to saving some bucks on our cable service (YEAH) This unit is more compact and just as powerful as the rented cable unit.

Great Cable Modem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was tired of paying TWC a monthly cable modem rental fee, so I got this Arris - SURFboard Docsis 3.0 High-Speed Cable Modem - Black from Best Buy. It took less than 2 minutes to setup and 15 minutes waiting for TWC tech to enter the MAC address. It works great and pays for it self less than a year.

Awesome and Easy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since this was the "official Xfinity" modem we went with it even though it was a bit more expensive than the others. Worked great and was very easy to set up. I was upgrading my moms home network for her and wanted to be sure she had the best and easiest equipment. It good because when you have to call Comcast tech support they know exactly how to help you with this modem.

Works great

Best Modem for the Home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went in search of a replacement modem for my home system and the Motorola Sufboard 3.0 modem was recommended by our sales representative at Best Buy. He was right, it is the best modem for good price. Very pleased with performance so far.
