    I bought this because modem rental prices keep going up and up. It works great. It was easy to set up and I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to buy one. In less than a year it will pay itself off. Good deal so far all around. No loss in connectivity, we have cell phones, computers and use netflix& Hulu for our TV... it handles everything well!

    Probably one of the best modems you can get in its speeds and price class. Perfect for people wanting to break away from their ISPs All in One units they like to charge you monthly for. Of course, you will need a modem too if you wish for wifi or to hardwire more devices.

    Purchased this modem so I can save money with my Comcast internet bill. Well worth the price as it pays for itself in as little as 4 months compared to renting out the Comcast modem every month. Easy wifi setup and the mobile software works flawless!

    This review is based on only three days of use. However, the modem is working perfectly. I replaced the CM500 model because I wanted to add the telephone feature. It was truly plug and play. Once I had given Comcast the MAC addresses, I simply unplugged the CM500 and plugged in the CM500V. The cable modem did all the rest.

    I did a lot of research between the fastest approved modems by the cable company and where thiamine modems were sold Best Buy was the only store around that had a fast standalone modem as I already had wifi. My recommendation is that if you already have a wifi router, buy this modem and hook the two up otherwise you'll spend a considerable amount more.

    ...saving the monthly rental cost of my service provider is saving me a lot of money. I used Netgear before and never had any problems. They offer products and reveal the service providers that they are compatible with for each product.This and Netgear in general offers very reasonably priced products that have never failed me.
