    I purchased this modem because it had gigabit speed for a fantastic price. Setup was simple and straightforward. It is compatible with most if not all cable companies. I have XFINITY and it works great. No problems.

    I’ve had the modem for over a month now. With the modem, I’ve constantly received the advertised internet speeds. The modem has not overheated or locked up during heavy use. This is a great modem for the money.

    You wouldn't think that something so simple could speed your home connection up. This Surfboard has made a huge difference in my home. I can't believe I went years with a slow comcast modem.

    Bought this modem so I would not have to rent one from my internet provider. It was really easy to set up. The modem is faster then what I could have rented. Very happy with the purchase.

    Not overly expensive and performs the functionality that a cable modem should. It's compatible with the latest specifications from Xfinity. It hasn't required a reboot since it's been activated.

    We purchased this modem in order to get out from under Xfinity's generic products. What a difference! Very pleased with increase in speed and continuity. We've not had any issues since this purchase.

    This cable modem was the easiest thing in the world to start using. The review title says it all. Called my ISP and registered the Mac ID and 20 minutes later I was surfing three times faster. Highly recommend it.

    We had an older version of this modem and it got "blown out" during a bad storm. We must have had some type of lighting strike and even though it was in a surge protector, the actual ethernet port got fried so it no longer worked (even though it was powering up and such). We quickly ran out to Best Buy to get a replacement modem and picked up this one. So far, no issues at all. Was able to plug it in, right in place of the old one, and everything picked up and started working again - right where we were before the storm. Speeds are fine, and we have not had to reset it yet (knock on wood) - which we sometimes had to do with the older model. This is our third one of this brand and we would definitely recommend!

    Got this when I upgraded my internet speed to 400MB. It is good to 1GB so I should be ready for the future as well. It was easy to install and works just as it should. Would buy this product again.

    good price and faster speed then I was getting with my rented Modem from cable company... and saving $7/mo. I was surprised to see I can only plug one item into it, which has to be my wireless router. My prior product, I could plug my desk top directly into Modem for better speed.

    I broke down and bought this modem to maximize my speeds from my ISP. This modem ensures I'm getting the most possible Mbps with all the additional channels minimizing lag from heavy usage times in the area.
