I have have this for about a couple of month now and i can say that this be one of the best modem out there . the main reason i buy this be because Comcast charge 7 dollar a month for they modem rental . installation be really easy , all you have to do be call you cable provider and provide they you MAC id on the modem and in less then 2 min you be up and run . what a difference it make ! I actually get speed to what i be pay for . lot a cable provide really dont tell you that you can do this which be understandable b\/c they want that extra money but for I the savings alone be well worth it ! a MUST BUY !!!!
