Surfing the Net Waves with my new ARRIS SURFboard
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned five SURFboard cable modems in the past and have always found them very reliable. The setup continues to be simple and fast. My only reason for purchasing another SURFboard was to upgrade to my cable providers' new DOCSIS 3.1 standard and take advantage of its new features.

SURFboard - Super Reliable
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded to this from an ARRIS SB8200 (which ran for years without issue) to take advantage of my faster than 1Gbps Internet speeds. Setup/provisioning was easy and I did not need to call Comcast Customer Support. ARRIS devices are very reliable and this one has been no different thus far. Stop paying modem rental fees and pick up your own.

Great purchase, worth every penny
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This modem works great and will be able to keep up with technology for at least the next 4-5 years. If your internet is slow dont waste money on getting the top end internet package. Upgrade your modem. You will see the difference. I had the old surfboard SB6183 on Spectrums lowest internet package. Couldnt stream anything without it buffering or being less than 420 pixel. Only thing I upgraded was this modem and now I can stream 4k on 2 tvs and being on 2 computers and have no problems while still on the lowest internet package. Great product.

A+ modem
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this modem to replace another which had gone haywire. Easy to set up and activate with my ISP. Been using for one month only, so no problems so far. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to purchase just the standalone modem instead of renting from ISP directly.

Great Cable Modem
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded my old model (8200) to this one thinking I will get the speed that Xfinity say I should get with my plan but after upgrading ethernet cables, LAN card on my computer and even the router the internet speed remain the same, maybe is an issue with me not the modem at all. The modem works perfectly, haven't had a single drop in weeks

Next Gen Modem
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with this purchase as we dive into next gen tech and capabilities I wanted to make sure I was giving my new gear the best chance for being able to perform to its abilities. So I upgraded my Cox Panoramic Wifi Modem to this one as the Cox modem caps out at 1Gbps. Not that my area has fiber optics as of yet but at least on my end everything is ready for the highest speeds available. Plus streaming and playing on games have been great.

Eliminate rental fees from service provider.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace my Cox modem and the speeds have almost doubled without upgrading my internet package, and beats having to pay the rental price from Cox each month. Really easy to set up just contact your internet provider by calling them or using the app that most providers have to activate the modem and serial number on your account and then everything else just booted up right away. Very happy with my purchase.

Great modem for xfinity
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Could activate the modem in just few minutes on xfinity network with their mobile app ‘Xfinity’. It needed modem max address to be passed on. There was no need to call xfinity. Modem is working solid. Currently I have only 400 mbps internet and see absolutely no issue. Will shortly upgrade to 1GHz. It’s little pricy. Paid $169 plus taxes

Works fine.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.upgraded my internet with comcast and went with the Arris mainly because that is what was available at Bestbuy and one of the modems approved by Comcast. Seems to work fine. Speeds are exactly what I am paying for. Happy for now. Set up was simple with the Xfinity app.
