    Good product works for Xfinity at 300 gbps, make sure you have a good strong router to pair with it.

    My old modem that I had owned for about five years was giving me difficulties with my internet service provider. Cost to rent versus cost to buy is in favor of purchase after only a little over a year. Easy to install.

    I got a much better deal elsewhere and ended up returning one I prematurely ordered. Product-wise, it works great and even improved upon my SNRs and correctable/uncorrectable errors with no cable run changes compared to my 8-channel Zoom, and I can now go gigabit with Comcast. Also, for Zoom brand loyal fans, this is actually a Zoom cable modem just rebadged with Motorola's permission. Zoom stands behind their products and provides great support when needed.

    Works well with local cable internet service through Spectrum. Fast speed supports my Netgear Orbi router. Set-up was as easy as could be, despite having to call Spectrum to activate the modem.

    Recently had got gigabit cable and needed a new modem. Everyone complained about the intel chipset so I went with this modem as it uses Broadcom. It is lightning fast and I have had zero issues.

    This unit replaced a prior Motorola; upgrade was necessary to insure compatibility with new contract with Comcast for increased data speed. Prior unit worked flawlessly; have no reason to suspect this one will be any different. At "off"-hours, I am seeing data download speeds in excess of 300 mB/sec, which is wonderful for buffer-free streaming of shows and videos from the various streaming service we are subscribed to..in addition to a direct link (via Ethernet cable) to our Apple TV, this unit also feeds our wi-fi router for our home network.

    This was purchased to replace a 4-year old modem from a well-known manufacturer that had begun to spontaneously drop connection to our ISP and, following reboot, take an extended amount of time to reconnect. After reading all the reviews, I decided to go with Motorola. Absolutely no disappointments. Speedtest shows I'm getting the same amount of speed as before (which is faster than the advertised connection speed) while handling all of the internet connections. Best of all, one month after purchase, I haven't even had to think about it.

    It was quite easy to set up and get it running with optimum gigabyte service. Very easy to follow instructions to do it completely on my own and save $15 per month in modem charges. Note that the wifi router is a separate purchase and I use tenda GB wireless router to get GB download speed. Optimum supplied free wifi routers can go up to 400 mb and most older computers and cell phones don't go over that on WiFi.
