    Upgraded to this when I upgraded my internet speed. Since setup I’ve never had an issue. Nice bonus to not pay xfinity a rental fee anymore.

    I switched to a GB connection with Comcast and this is a must have - works well, super fast connection and no dropping out. Much less cost then paying Comcast for one.

    Nice modem. Better than the stock spectrum modem, but not by too much. I will keep this for a back up. I went with the S33 for my main modem.

    Had to buy it to upgrade to 500 mbps with Cox. It works well, no disconnect issues. Speed works as advertised. I recommend sticking with ARRIS with Cox.

    Spectrum was upping speeds and my old 3.0 router could not keep up and shutting down every 20 min. I upgraded to this 3.1 and holy cow is it fast. Internet speeds jumped from 3 to 100+MPS!

    I have had this about a year. I am very pleased as I purchased an Eero to use with it and it has performed fine with Grande. Not an issue and I would recommend.
