    Works great but it's only using half the bandwidth due to TWC limitation. Good news it's ready for the future.

    I never expect these units to last more than a year. But this one is still going. I like that it cuts out the modem rent from my extortionist cable company.

    This product is defective, plain and simple. It has the Puma 6 chipset, which causes latency and connection problems. Here is a link to an article http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Arris-Sued-Over-SB6190-Surfboard-Modem-Latency-Flaw-139331 There are class action lawsuits against this Arris for selling a defective product. This purchase gave me such trouble, I glad I was able to return it in time, and get it out of my life.

    What kept me from giving it a 5 star rating was it has had a few speed issues requiring a reset by Comcast. Likely more of a Comcast problem then a modem problem.
