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.

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!

Definitely better than our old zoom modem. Connected this with a Netgear mesh wifi system and couldn't be happier with the speed and connection.

Overall a good modern. However there are a few things that could be better:
1. There are dual 1G ethernet port on the modem. It didn't say clearly if they can be connected to different wifi router (which they can't). The only use is for bonding to form a 2Gbps link to a router that has two WAN port that support bonding, which is rare. So this design isn't that useful IMO.
2. Even with 2Gbps link, it's nowhere near the 10Gbps max rate with DOCSIS 3.1. That's being said though I don't see xfinity giving 10G options in the near future. So it's ok.

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.
