I get this because my old modem that I own be reboot randomly and daily . that be kind of expect after 11 year of heavy use . I like the size and form factor of this modem . the light be not annoyingly bright , which be great because it be place by a tv . my first complaint be that it be difficult to get this register with Comcast -lrb- not they fault -rrb- . it take about 30 minute to register it because the modem be not recognize the signal from Comcast . it take a couple reboot to finally get it to register , but it have work perfectly since then . my other complaint be that the material that the modem be make of feel pretty cheap . I would just like to know that if it fall , it would survive . I do not think I 'll be test that though . move on , the speed be incredible ! even test it with my old internet package -lrb- 12 mbp down , slow , I know -rrb- , it would get a consistent 24 mbp . then , I upgrade my package , and switch to a bundle . now , I have 30 mbp , and I get around 35 mbp . so , I be happy with this modem . Buyer beware : save the box if you want to be able to register this with Comcast . they need the MAC address and serial number -lrb- all number -rrb- from the box .
