Works but I don't see much improvement

So my current modem is my own Motorola that I've replaced with this Motorola B12. I haven't rented a cable modem from my ISP (Xfinity / Comcast) in years. So right off the bat I would consider that the best thing about this modem - you own it and you're not paying even more money to your ISP for their equipment. I have a 1G connection through my ISP and usually get close to that (and sometimes even over that) with my previous modem on a wired connection. Wireless is of course slower, but that has nothing to do with the modem.
So hooking this up is straightforward - coax to the modem and ethernet from the modem to my router. Activating your own equipment with your ISP has gotten much easier than it used to be, so that wasn't an issue either. Once I was up and running, I ran some speed tests at different times of the day over several days. Although my results were good, they really were no different than the Motorola I had been using. Granted, if I ever get a faster connection through my ISP, the B12 should be able to take advantage of it whereas my current Motorola would not be able to. So, I guess I have that to look forward to. In summary, the best thing about this modem is that you own it and it will eventually pay for itself over several monthly payments to your ISP, depending on the amount your ISP charges for the equipment rental.
Hi Pinkoos, Thanks for sharing your detailed experience! We're glad to hear the setup was easy and that you're enjoying the benefits of owning your modem. While performance improvements may depend on your ISP's service, the B12 is built to support faster speeds for future upgrades.
