    This modem is amazing. I get nearly double the internet speed I am paying for. That's what this modem is all about. This next part I had to find in a blog and confirm it with motorola: "Active Queue Management (AQM), helps organize data packets to reduce latency and improve streaming, gaming, and conferencing performance." Yeah especially for the price, you get what you pay for. Its compatible with most internet providers as well.

You’re absolutely right, features like Active Queue Management (AQM) make a big difference for streaming, gaming, and video calls. We’re glad you did the research and found it pays off! Enjoy the fast and reliable connection, and thanks again for being part of the Motorola family. -Mitch MotorolaMobility

    Works well but runs hot

    Appears to work fine. Not easy to get connected to Xfinity. Had to go through chat to get it connected and even then they had to have someone call me back to get it to connect. My old modem connected automatically with no interaction from Comcast needed. This thing runs super hot compared to my old Motorola modem. Even the cable connector gets super hot. Ended up returning because of that.
