    We have had it for a few months now and have no complaints. It works exactly as it should and would recommend to anyone looking to buy a cable modem.

    I only put for stars because this is not the best for everyone. For me, it is fine because I live alone and don't have super high speeds. If you have, a family, a lot of devices connecting in your household, and/or have high speed internet, you need to step up to at least the next model.

    I got tired of paying for my cable modem each month. I decided it was finally a good idea to just buy my own and I am happy that I did. I like that this is just a modem and nothing else as I don't need a router or cable phone option.

    excellent product. I was able to get rid of rented modem from Comcast to avoid their monthly modem rental fee. I did not notice any change in speed or quality of internet, if anything the internet quality improved with this product.

    I was looking for an modem online and stumbled upon this one. It was so nice that bestbuy has this item on sale and I decided to try it out. It was a wonderful buy. The modem works great with little or minimum interference.

    The product is great, it small so it fits anywhere. It is easy to set up. The only thing is that I had to buy an additional wireless hopper to be able to connect anywhere on my house.

    Excellent. When you need connectivity and don't want to pay their rental fee, buy your own:) If you have voice you can buy this and they have to leave their voice modem free of charge, so this is definitely the way to go.

    Definitely worth getting this instead of renting a cheap modem from the cable company. Be advised this is not compatible with Verizon FiOS' system. As a result, I cancelled FiOS and moved to Cox. Haven't regretted it for a second.

    I can't tell if my internet is sometimes slow with Bright house or if this modem is junk. I am satisfied, but not ecstatic about this purchase. First the price is too high. Second it claims super fast internet, but when I swapped it out for my old modem I saw no difference.

    I decided to buy my own modem since my cable company was going to start charging rent on the one they installed for the internet we pay them for. I did some research, and decided on this one. Super easy to set up. I put it on the desk instead of the floor, where the other one was. It is so simple to get to in case of a reboot. No questions on how to set it up, and once we contacted the cable company to set it up on their end, no problems
