    I have Cox's 150Mbps plan. Coming from a Motorola/Arris 6141 modem that was also DOCSIS 3.0, my speeds improved by about 50%. Where I used to average 120Mbps, getting this modem improved average speeds to 180Mbps (I get 20MBps file download speeds from Ubuntu and Microsoft direct/legal torrents, where I got 7 to 8MBps before). I only upgraded due to my previous modem failing. I read reviews, but when a rep from Cox tier 2 technical support told me that he almost never hears about issues with the Netgear modems, that sealed it. This was well worth the price, and has drastically improved my Internet connection.

    I always purchsed my own modems, never rent, and I always do my research before buying a new one. The NetGear CM600 gets great reviews. It's larger than the 5 year old Motorola Surfboard modem I'm replacing, but light and very stable on its stand. It runs a little hot at the top, but has plenty of ventilation holes. The LED lights are not too large or bright in a dark room, but bright enough to read. It has all the speed that I need for now and into the future for the same price (on sale) as a lower model, and I'm getting slightly higher speeds than the Cox plan I'm paying for advertises. I've had it for several weeks now and have experienced no signal drops. If it lasts as long as my last Motorola Surfboard did, I'll be happy.

    This modem worked perfectly as soon as Spectrum provisioned it. No hang ups or reboots required in a month of it running. Speeds better than Spectrum provided modem. No complaints.

    I've bought this modem about a month and half ago and it was very easy to setup and I haven't had any problems. It is much faster. I will update if I do experience any problem.

    Great Modem, No More Rental Fees

    I finally decided to make the move to purchase my own modem instead of paying rental fees every month, and the Netgear CM600 was the perfect choice. Netgear allows you to set up your new modem right online if you have Xfinity, and that part almost worked. It said it was successful but I did have to make a quick call to Xfinity to finalize the set up. Besides that, no other problems. This modem paired up with the Netgear Orbi's has made my connection through out the house faster and more stable than I have ever experienced with a router/modem you rent from a provider.

    This is a device recommended by my cable provider to enjoy a new high speed plan I had purchased. The modem was easy to setup and I am enjoying high internet data speeds. I am glad I bought this modem.

    I needed to upgrade my modem to accommodate my streaming speeds. This modem was suggested as I wasn't looking to spend $200 for one. This one works just fine.

    After renting a modem from my cable company for years it was time to upgrade to a new modem that I own. The NetGear is fast and reliable and works perfectly with my cable company connection.

    Speed tests show that I am connecting at or just above the subscribed speed. No problem with Comcast provisioning the replacement modem, though it would not complete through Comcast's website. Tends to run warm so a small fan moving the heat won't hurt.

    OK, so I've had a year to use this modem and I can say without a doubt it improved and helped my internet connection out in 'the county'. It was easy to set up and the channel bonding makes my internet, especially in the evenings, solid. Good modem for the price and works very well with Spectrum here. Before I got this I had been using the modem that Spectrum supplied and it wasn't a 24x8, and we had difficulties. Cleared up now.

    I purchased this modem, Netgear CM600, to replace my motorola sb6120. I upgraded my internet to 200 mbps and the old modem only supported up to 150 mbps and was no longer supported by xfinity. The installation was pretty easy and I was able to active the modem online (didn't have to call xfinity.. Yay!) The performance is solid. My family usually has 2-3 iPads streaming movies/web surfing, a laptop playing an online game, and a smart tv streaming a movie all at the same time. The modem is handling the demand so far. I have not had to reboot the modem since activation.... knock on wood. Bottom line: good modem. easy installation, good performance.... worth the ~$110.

    Much more reliable, and way way faster than the junk my cable company provided. Much. Better. Get rid of the free one, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

    Easy installation tho I did need to contact their customer service dept. to assist as Comcast failed on their end of the upgrade. The Netgear rep was outstanding & got both modem and router reset to properly recognize each other & the Comcast signal. Have NOT seen any improvement to Comcast speed despite their years of hounding me to upgrade my very old modem. Good modem, just appears to not have done any good for me and my situation, thanks to lame Comcast.

    Replaced old Mediacom Cisco modem

    Mediacom upgraded my service from 10 Mbps to 60 Mbps so they recommended that I replace my old modem with a new one. I was fearful of damaging my network so it took awhile and reading all of the reviews I could find to work up the courage to make the change. I should have taken the plunge right away as it turns out because this modem practically installed itself. I didn't have to do anything to my router or network because everything operated just as it had with the old modem. I could not be happier with this new Netgear modem as the speed has increased to the advertised speed promised by Mediacom.

    Rather than lease the modem from Comcast, this made more sense. Speed tests show that modem is capable of the stated internet speeds, and then some. Very satisfied.

    I upgraded my Comcast service and wanted to replace my aging modem with a new model. I wanted enough overhead in the form of excess channels that it would not only work well with my new level of service but also last into whatever my next level of service might be. I think this modem does that. It isn't the very maximum but it's very strong upper middle of the product range. The price was fair and BB matched an online price. The unit performs perfectly and runs cool. In the couple of months that I've had it there hasn't been a single issue... 24/7. I recommend it.

    My daughter moved to a new apartment in the Walnut Creek area and subscribed to Comcast Xfinity internet. I chose this modem fpr her because it does not use the Intel Puma 6 chipset with it's problems. Paired the Netgear modem with 3 Plume WiFi pods in her 2 bedroom apartment and she gets great WiFi coverage and speeds. The cable modem was extremely easy to install and did not require a phone call to Comcast. It recognized the modem and registered it online. She is getting 177 Mbps download speeds on a 150 Mbps plan. Very happy with this purchase.
