This is my second one. My first one’s power connection was loose. I blame that connection not the device. Great modem, provides speed and reliability.

So much better than the Modem Suddenlink provides. Simple set up, takes up minimal space and does exactly what it needs to do.

We recently bought this modem and our internet speeds have been excellent! We previously were using a Netgear modem that was an 8 x 4; however, the knowledgeable sales rep explained to me how tri-band mesh routers work and that we really should upgrade to the 32 x 8 to take full advantage of the internet speeds in your home.
It works great and even with a mesh network, we don’t feel the internet has slowed at all due to this upgrade. If we continued to use our existing 8 x 4, it would likely have been very noticeable.

I decided to get this modem so I didn't have to rent one from Spectrum anymore. It's small and fast and future proof for a while with a great price. Great buy!

Was having issues with my cable company issued modem. Picked this one up and found a big difference in speed from before. Would recommend this over any cable supplied modem.

Hardware Refresh!

I bought this to replace an earlier model Arris SB 6140 as part of an overall network hardware refresh. I was satisfied enough with Arris to buy a newer model of their product. This new one future-proofs my network as it supports downloads of up to 1.4 gbps if I decide to upgrade my Internet service. It was easy to install and activate with my Comcast service and easy to mount with the screw holes on the back. I would certainly buy again and recommend to friends.

I'm using the ARRIS Surfboard 32x8 on Cox with the Premium 150 package. This modem is fast - I perform speed tests with it occasionally and routinely see over 140 Mbps when plugged directly into it, and average 83 Mbps over wireless. I routinely have video streams going to multiple TVs at once and it works great... I have never seen noticeable buffering anywhere. The only slight negative I can say about it is that it takes a bit longer to boot-up and acquire an IP from the service than other modems I have used.
