    This modem provides upload and download speeds that well exceed the my cable company's maximum speeds. It was simple to install. I just had to contact my ISP with the new MAC address for this modem.

    Excellent Modem. Replaced an old modem with this one and it has been flawless since install. Works with my Comcast XFinity internet in the Chicago area. Highly recommend buying instead of renting. Cheaper in the long run.

    My second SurfBoard...this replaced a SB6183, and only because I upgraded my IS to Extreme300. Very happy with both Boards I've owned. Much better than renting.

    The cable modem works fine and will pay for itself before the end of the year as opposed to renting from the cable company. My only complaint is that the id # is too small to be read without a magnifying glass.

    When looking at a cable modem make sure you get a 32 channel modem, so you won't buy one that becomes obsolete quickly. The Arris get high reviews for good reasons, it works well and provides high speed access.

    I bought this modem to replace my current Motorola modem. This modem is super fast!! I went from 45 download speed from my old modem to 114 with this one. Amazing product! I paired it with the triple pack google wifi.

    This modem has been great. I haven’t had any problems with it since I bought it a year ago. Light years better than having to rent one from Comcast

    This is a replacement for my previous modem which wasn't compatible with Comcast. It was very easy to install. All it took is a call to Comcast to have them activate it and I was up and running.

    This is my second SURFboard. Just like the first one it was very easy to get installed and setup with Comcast Internet and TV. The only down side is the power supply / plug connector. This power supply / plug connector has become common practice so I can only plug 4 items in a 6 outlet surge protector.

    This little modem performs superbly, with plenty of speed. It has ONE CABLE line input, and one ethernet output jack (RJ45) than goes to your computer. That's it. It's a computer cable modem, and does just that, very well!

    I bought this so I didn't have to pay for the modem and wifi rental with Xfinity anymore. Set up was easy. Worth the purchase. Should've bought this 2 years ago!
