    It's working better than I expected. Not problems so far and it wasn't difficult connecting it. The item itself is well worth it if you plan on having services more than a couple of years. It will actually pay for itself. Literally!

    Get this instead of renting from the internet company. First, make sure that this Modem is compatible with the type of internet that you have. Also, make sure that you have voice service as well. If you have both these, then this is a great choice.

    Xfinity was not able to initialize this modem, so I had to pick and rent a modem from Xfinity and return this one.

    I have been using this for about a month and i have not had to restart the modem for any reason. The app you need to download is helpful and makes setup a breeze. Just note that this model does not have lights that change to green or blue. All lights remain white or go off. The company needs to change this on their manual.

    Good performance, but set up was really difficult even with help from Comcast. Definitely not "plug and play." Alas.

    Does everything it's supposed to, very high quality. Highly recommend. Two Gigabit Ethernet ports allow for fast connection speeds to Wi-Fi routers or other wired devices, and dual telephony ports provide convenient digital voice support. This Arris SURFboard T25 cable modem can bond to two upstream and two downstream DOCSIS 3.1 channels to help achieve true gigabit download speeds.

    Rented the comcast Arris Modem/router for a long time, did not want to switch out because of the great speed and service I was getting from Xfinity. Modem died so I purchased this. Speed and range is far better than the rental modem ... everything connected to my network through my Google wifi is connecting at a unbelievable speed ... much better than the rental Modem. So happy I purchased this model!

    Works well and easy to setup. If your an Xfinity customer with Home service you will need a sidecar router from Xfinity, if you have TV you will need the cable TV boxes not the wireless, even knowing it will work fine with my setup Xfinity has no way in their billing system to remove their gateway monthly fee from my bill with the wireless TV boxes. Sounds fishy to me. I setup my Orbi as my access point for all my Wi-Fi needs.
