    I have Spectrum 400mbps and was having issues with the provided modem due to the puma6 chipset. Purchased a Netgear modem that lasted two week then decided to try out this ARRIS SURFboard. Best decision ever. Have used for the last month with no issues and get over my 400mbps. Definitely recommend this modem!

    Does as described. Small doesn't take up a lot of real estate in the cabinet. Would be nice if it were black. So that it would blend in with the other devices.

    This modem seems to effortlessly achieve those speeds I'm paying for from my Internet provider. I have no complaints, and it doesn't look too bad, either.

    Works well, it is compatible with Spectrum; however, it has a tendency to overheat as most modems do. I bought a small computer fan to place next to the modem and now it stays cool.

    I bought one of these to replace the same modem. The first one lasted for 3 years, so probably typical for something at this price. Ideally, things wouldn't break ever but Modems just don't last. I doubt that any other brand or model would last significantly longer, it's not like paying twice the price would give me twice the life. I'd suggest people store this in a place with adequate ventilation too, but that's my fault.

    Easy to hook-up and get running. Saves me $10 or $11 bucks a month from Time Warner rental fees and is all set for when Time Warner increases internet speed.
