ARRIS (SB8200) - Cable Modem - Fast DOCSIS 3.1, Approved for Comcast Xfinity, Cox, Charter Spectrum, & more | 1 Gbps Max Internet Speed, 4 OFDM Channels

Easy to install, works without tricks, a good modem for home Internet...

Just got this modem to replace our Comcast rental modem and eliminate the rental fees. Got it connected and up and running without problems. I got the refurbished model, and so far, so good. Modems are very reliable hardware, so chances are if the refurbished one works out of the box, it will keep working for a long time. I am getting my advertised speeds of 30 Mbps without any problems or hickups. PRO's: - Easy to set up and activate (just plug it in and activate via Comcast activation website or phone) - Getting advertised speeds of 30Mbps on my line, solid connection - Small form factor, can stow it away behind a book shelf easily. - Works with most cable ISP's - Good price if you get it refurbished. CON's: - Really none so far, solid modem.

I had to return it

So far so good. Plugged it in on a new Lightspeed.ca 75MB service in Victoria BC and works flawlessly. Tests at over 80MB/s. Gives me the joyful opportunity to give the overpriced Shaw service the heave ho.

amazon has a thickness rating...? this modem is awesome. low priced and works flawlessly. it's very small and just thick enough
