This cable modem is exactly what I needed to replace my Xfinity modem. I purchased an eeros mesh system for the router and could not be happier with my choice. This was easy to set up and there have been exactly zero issues with it. We never have 16 devices running using wifi at once so this one was perfect.

I bought this for a family member who had upgraded their internet plan. After a quick install, a quick call with their provider, they were up and running with faster speeds than before. I personally use an ARRIS cable modem myself and neither of these products have had any problems whatsoever. I would definitely recommend this brand to anyone looking to buy their own cable modem to avoid the rental fee ISPs charge.

I was having trouble with my Surfboard modem that I bought several years ago at Best Buy. I recently went to the Best Buy located at 9630 SE 82nd Avenue, Portland, OR and talked with a sales associate and he suggested that I buy the ARRIS Surfboard 16x4 cable modem. The new cable modem is working great with my internet. Thanks to Best Buy for great products, great prices and excellent customer service.

Looked around on Amazon before going into Bestbuy to make the actual purchase. This was the latest offering on Modem by Arrias in 2014-2015. Thought we would upgrade our speed much faster in the future, so it would be a great candidate. People say that they get faster than subscribed speed, while that might be dependent on ISP. I don't see that on my COX service.
Reason to buy it: separate modem from router makes future upgrades more easily, also more risk diversification than integrated models.

Purchased this modem instead of renting the cable company one. Easy to set up with a simple call to the cable company so they can activate it. Handles my 60 Mbps internet very easily with no lag or drops.
