    This is the second modem of this model that I have bought, and both have been fantastic. I only bought this one recently because my original one was struck by lightning and had to be replaced.

    The product is clean looking for the desktop easy to install and set-up. Product rating was great and referred to me. Now if I could just get the cable company to deliver on thier promise.

    I got the ARRIS SURFboard Cable Modem to replace my Comcast modem that i was renting monthly and this modem has proven to be faster for downloads and uploads with the latest docsis 3.0 technology, and now i don't have to worry about paying that monthly rental for an inferior modem.

    Works great so far. Not a major difference from SB6183. I'm sure once I upgrade the internet speed, I will be able to take advantage of it.

    The modem supplied by Spectrum continually dropped signal and I was paying them!! The SB6190 has solved the signal issue and now have solid download speeds. Bonus it pays for itself not to rent!

    I bought this Arris modem after I noticed Xfinity was charging me $13 per month to use their modem. I paired it with a Netgear Nighthawk AC3000 router and am very pleased.

    This SURFboard modem allowed me to say good buy to rental fees. All the while increasing the performance of my home network. Do yourself a favor, and buy your own equipment now.

    Tired of shelling $10 each month to comcast. Bought a better modem and it was on sale! Easy to hook up and is a great blue nightlight. Seems to do a better job since we are now streaming.
