Simple, fast, easy, reliable, acceptable to Cox.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Cable modem is nice looking, and has worked flawlessly with my Cox Internet. Cox likes to fuss about customer-owned equipment sometimes when their network is having issues, but when they found out I had this device, we moved right along to a real solution. Plus it supports their highest speed offering as well. 2 Minute Install, and no issues at all. It received a firmware update in the first 5 minutes of being connected, all flawless. I had my previous Surfboard for a long long time. I'm glad I chose this particular modem, and I would recommend it to others.

Great replacement for Comcast High Speed modem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a great purchase to replace Comcast"s modem and to save money. We have not had any issues with connectivity outside on Comcast global issues. Running multiple computers, TV, a wireless net, and multiple mobile devices without any loss of speed or connectivity. Highly recommend this as a replacement to "renting" the Comcast provided modem

Great modem, with only a couple nitpicks.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great modem. Significant improvement over their previous sb8200 which went through multiple hardware revisions. The 2.5gbps Ethernet plug provides future proofing for speeds at/over 1000mbps (standard Ethernet caps out around 940mbps). Small form factor looks nice, but it does cause the modem to run warmer than the competition (Motorola or Netgear). Will this damage anything long term? Only time will tell, but heat does increase attenuation... so just something to be mindful of when it comes to having your signals level out. Having only one indicator light may also be a con for some depending since it doesn’t give specific indicator lights for the various connections (downstream, upstream, traffic, etc).

Modem great, Comcast customer service pitiful
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The modem is lightning fast. Reasonable price. Easy to install in your network. The only problem I encountered is trying to get through a live technician to provision the modem from Comcast. Their automated system kept saying your modem is off line. After calling Comcast back 6 times over a two hour period I finally got through to a live technician. She had the modem up running and provisioned in less than 15 minutes. She had me do speed tests to make sure it was working good. The modem is great. Comcast customer service is pitiful.

Cable modem

Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old modem from the cable company wasn't reliable and kept needing to be rebooted.
