great modem and now the price be about half of what I pay for it in March 2010 . I use to rent a modem from comcast but hate pay the monthly charge and lose the connection all the time . I almost never lose the connection with this modem . I research many modem on amazon before purchase and be happy that I decide on this one . I just wish it have be this cheap when I purchase . you really can not go wrong with this modem .
