    Upgraded from a cable Cisco modem, I noticed the difference in speed. Still some slight buffering but not nearly as bad as my cable modem was.

    My gf and I bought this to cut the cord and avoid having to rent a modem from the cable company. It works great with our Comcast internet.

    Small victory for Time Warner customers

    I made sure this model was on the preferred Time Warner modem list (http://www.timewarnercable.com/en/support/internet/topics/lease-or-buy-modem.html). Because I have phone service with them I had to activate the modem over the phone instead of online but I was still up and running in less than 15 minutes. I now do not have a modem lease fee on my bill and so far my internet has performed flawlessly. My only regret is that I did not do this sooner.

    Have had no issues with this device for the past year. Connects to Spectrum for us, and is faster than the Zoom we had before.

    This replaced the need of having to pay my cable company a monthly fee. It works well and was easy to setup. Works perfectly with Googles Onhub router.
