    When starting my new service with xfinity I didn’t want to rent a modem for 12-15 dollars a month (do the math this pays for it self after 7). Their website only listed five different models compatible with their service and my location. On my way into beat buy to purchase a modem twice as expensive as this one I saw all these models that’s claimed xfinity Compatibility, I called into xfinity customer service to confirm prior to purchase and they stated yes it will work and yes it does. You just need to call in and get them the Mac id of the device.

    Superb Modem, 32downstream channels, max speed

    Another excellent modem from Arris (formerly the Motorola Modems). The last one I had lasted 7years before I had to upgrade with increasing broadband speeds and hopefully this new 6190 is just as future proof. Most cable companies require a 16channel downstream bonding modem and this one has 32 to allow for some future overhead. Very satisfied. The modem has a very small form factor and stylish white. Only thing I and I'm sure many others wish the lights could be dimmed or turned off (they're glaring Bright in a dark room). I do love how the light pattern changes when modem is locked on and online though. Excellent purchase, highly recommended!

    I recently upgraded my internet speed through Comcast from 200 MBPS to 600 MBPS as part of a 2 year contract. I never rent the 2 in 1 unit that comcast will lease to you. As a result of the upgrade I needed to purchase a new modem and router. This modem was easy to install. Arris makes the best modems in the business. I paired this with a Netgear Nighthawk AC4000 router. This combination is far superior to comcasts 2 in 1 unit.

    Plug and play! Been running for close to a month nonstop now, and have had zero issues. Getting great speeds and a stable connection. Well worth the money if you don't want to rent a modem.

    Seems like this is getting us good speeds when we connect directly into the modem. It is nice and small. Now we just need to find a better wireless router so our WiFi speeds go up.

    I cut my cable and phone lines with comcast and wanted to eliminate the $10/mth rental charge for the modem (i have my own wifi router that is much better than theirs) so I picked up this modem. Purchased this higher grade one as I have blast (200mb download) and assume it will only get faster so didn't go for the cheaper model that probably would have been fine. Well I was pleasantly surprised to see that I now get about 15% faster downloads at about 230mbps. :) The hardest part of the setup was getting ahold of comcast to reset the modem. Overall it was about 15-20 minutes but just waiting for several reboots of the modem.

    This modem increased my internet speed. This won't get you more than you pay for, but it will help you make sure you get the most out of what you pay for. I originally had an 8x4 DOCSIS modem and it would be ok but slow down at times. Even without increasing my subscription, this modem sped up my internet connection by connecting to additional channels and being able to avoid the more congested ones. I know routinely get my purchased (advertised) speed on my plan. At 32x12, this supports more channels than my provider currently has deployed. This ensures that this modem will be able to grow along with my provider.

    It is a simple no frills modem with high speed capability. Get it connected, register it with your ISP, and off you go. Exactly what I needed. Only offers one Ethernet port for connecting to a device, PC or router, so don't expect that it will be a combination all-in-one modem router security hub etc.
