Just upgraded from my old surfboard sb6121 (I think) as I upgraded everything in my network (my ISP told me end of life was up on the 6121 and I should upgrade to get faster speeds). Don;t really see much of a difference from the old one, but hopefully it is just something I would not really see.

Needing internet for a small business, Cox only approves four modems (only two are available for purchase in stores). This modern is perfect for my needs and affordable.

Best purchase this year as Cox doesn't need ANY more extra bucks from me. Setup was easy with one call to Cox Tech Support. Zero problems since, just majorly improved speed.

This does exactly what you need it to and the best part is that you do not have to break the bank. Plus, you do not have to pay to rent one from your ISP.

The HUB is a great product for the advanced user. I connected my Apple Airport Extreme and it is providing the Gigabit speed I require to function in my home office.
Oh and no leasing fee from TWC!

This model is fast enough for what I need at home. I'm pretty satisfied with the performance. Plus, I got this for a cheaper price since Best Buy does match even online deals like Amazon!

Everything you could want for the speed and price. I got good advise from the guys at Best Buy for the modem that was compatible with my internet provider. Set up was quick, and no issues so far.

I bought the Arris modem instead of leasing from the cable company. Best decision I’ve made. It works very well and with the extended warranty you can’t go wrong.

When I moved and TWC MAXX increased speed I couldn't get the 200/20 so I had to upgrade. Never lease modems always own your modem. Never buy combos for Wi-Fi already use separate router

This modem was extremely easy to set up. I was coming from a DOCSIS 2.0 modem, so my upload and download speeds immediately improved. Very happy with this purchase, so far. Have owned for 6 weeks.

Bought this to replace an older DOCIS 3.0 because comcast increased my speed. Works well and was easy to setup - the activation with comcast is always hit or miss depending on the rep you get.

My old DOCSIS 3.0 modem served me well but when I upgraded to 200MB download speed it blew up. This ARRIS modem handles the extra download speed easily! I highly recommend it.
