    This device gets me almost 600mbps with RCN. I am paying for 500mbps and it works great. No wireless but that's no problem because I got the Google wireless routers. The only problem that I have with it is that it gets super hot!

    Simple and functional. This cable modem works with Comcast for Gigabit Ethernet via DOCSIS 3.1 and will save you paying their equipment rental fees.

    Very good modem, no wifi in it, this is modem only but it really sails along on the web! I've got gigabit internet, and while your mileage will vary (several factors at play for connection speeds) I am seeing 890-930, the first test I ran actually showed 988 somehow! Great modem, no fuss, it just works.

    I was getting slower than expected internet data transfers, and several dropped connections each day. Comcast came out and the signal strength and data transfer rate was normal. They suggested replacing the modem, and this one looked to be a good fit for me. One month of usage shows problem solved, the connection is rock solid and the data rates are 3x higher than that of the old modem.

    Stable, fast modem

    This is a very stable, fast modem. I haven't had any need to hard boot the device yet and it has resolved an issue I was having with my Internet previously. I had an Arris 6142 and it couldn't handle large upload spikes. I have several Nest and Arlo cameras and between their uploads and bursts of uploads on my PCs or other devices in the house, the modem would use all the bandwidth and start dropping large amounts of packets. When this would occur, sometimes the modem would lock up entirely and need a hard boot. This is an expensive modem but I know it will serve my needs for several years given its bandwidth capabilities.

    I ended up returning it because it was incompatible with my setup. But works the same as an older version.

    I am very please with my purchase. Modem works great. Replaced an older modem of another brand which had issues with the power connector. I have had this for a couple months and has worked flawlessly. I bought this so I did not have to rent from Comcast and it really well. Comcast came and set it up for me, so I can't comment on how easy that would have been to do on my own. No complaints thus far.

    Love Arris. This is my second one. I would still be using the first one except for a lightning strike that messed it up. Bought this one and works just as good as my first one!
