I needed to upgrade my modem to take advantage of the higher download speeds offered by my internet provider and after doing my research, this Motorola modem was the best one out there. It has lived up to everything promised. I highly recommend it!

One of the best modems out there for cable providers like Comcast. Don't get trapped into renting a modem when you can buy this, although technology may surpass these speeds soon enough. Will be upgradable (software) to DOCSIS 3.1 soon.

This modem rocks! I am using it with Time Warner 300mbps service and it works flawlessly. I have seen the top speed at all hours of the day and have not had to reset it since I installed it. Well worth the money and not having to pay any lease fees.

This was an emergency purchase and then it turned out that my old modem was fine - the cable in part of the neighborhood had gone bad. But knowing this modem is 8 or 16 (I forget) faster than my old modem, there is no way I would return it.

We wanted to stop spending money renting a modem from our internet provider. This modem was on the approved list from our IP and also recommended by the Best Buy associate. After 2 months of use, we are still happy with its performance.

I bought this to replace the rented unit from White County Cable. Will pay itself off in 7 months. Basically a plug and play unit. Only had to wait for the cable company to set it up in their system (about 2 hrs).

This cable modem connected well with my new wifi and moves the packets quite effectively. My son bought one before I did and recommended it.

This modem is a beast. Never realized how much speed I was missing for the internet plan I have been paying for. On my previous modem I only got 90mbps but with this same modem on my same plan I get 343 mbps.

Solid performance. A little more advanced then I currently need, but happy this modem can perform when I upgrade my other equipment. I didn't want to buy a modem that I'd have to replace in the near future. This one will grow with the demands!

This is the most modem I have ever laid eyes on. It is able to suck all of the bandwidth from my entire neighborhood and deliver me the fastest Wi-Fi of everyone on my street. Would recommend it to anyone looking for the fastest speeds possible.

I decided to save money and buy a cable modem instead of renting Xfinity wifi modem. I added the Orbi mesh wifi router to this cable modem and the whole house is hooked up.

So far the modem has been good. When I called comcast to activate it for some reason it wouldnt work at first but it took like 10 minutes to work. After that it was great. I have a Apple Tine capsule hooked up as a router and everything flows!

I purchase this modem after suggested from Time Warner Cable. It is supporting up to 300 MBPS which is very nice. Earlier my home internet speed was only 15 MBps and now after using this mode, I am getting 60MBps at my home with same plan.

Great modem. Motorola is a brand name you can trust and has been supplying this gear for 20 plus years. Easy install. Noticeable speed improvement. Purchasing this model assures your set with the best technology for a while. ROI is ~ 18 months.

My old Time Warner Cable router was starting to malfunction after several years of operation. I bought this one given the positive reviews I've seen on other sites. It works quite well on it's own, as well as in tandem with my Linksys router.

Not much to say about this little guy, except that it's a screamer and it connected up to Comcast cable without a hitch. Well worth the money!

We have 200+mbps and this modern catches it all. Longest part of setup is calling cable company to register it to your account. Get the service pkan. This is my second unit because the first just fizzled & the service plan saved $$$.
