    It was great, but then a couple of weeks later we had to keep on resetting it once in a while, maybe mine is a fluke but who knows, motorola is a good brand though. Worth the money.

    We purchased this item in an attempt to speed up our cable internet, but sadly, our speed only went up slightly. At least we aren't paying rent to the cable company for their modem.

    I was hoping to see a major difference in my wifi speed after picking this up. Not sure if it's the modem or the provider that is the issue. Most likely its Comcast

    It is a good product if you want to save on your cable bill if you don't have a regular phone since this modem doesn't have a phone jack.

    I'm pretty sure this modem gets kicked off the Comcast network regularly as I have to reset it every couple days and call Comcast every week to ask for help.

    I was told great things about this modem, wanted it to replace my Comcast modem but it ended up cutting my speeds in half. Had to return it.

    This unit did not work with my Version internet, I returned it without any issues. I had asked a store reversative and he could not answer my question and told me to find someone else that could help me, I could not find anyone and did not want to wait. I guess the product itself might be good however my overall experience was not good.

    It is a good modem but not great. Have to reset just about everyday because it just becomes bogged down with all the streaming.

    Modem is OK, Advice - Terrible

    Unfortunately, I knew that I needed to upgrade my modem because of some changes being made by Comcast. I was led to believe that the salesperson knwew what was needed to meet the new changes at Comcast. This modem was highly suggested. after it eas installed, I found some slight improvement over my replaced modem, but not the performance I expected. I needed a modem with DOCSIS 3.1 and this one is DOCSIS 3.0. WHOOPS!

    I notice a lot of artifacts in my cable TV stream when using this modem, but can't definitively blame the modem. The Internet connection is rock solid.
