5.0 out of 5 starsGREAT 300Mbps capable modem.
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2018
Update 8-19-2019 : The modem is still going strong AND Spectrum automatically upgraded our 300 Mbps service to 400 Mbps and even though this modem is not on their approved list, I am now bursting at around 450 Mbps!
So far, this modem has performed excellently. We have 100/10 internet and while I was always happy with the performance of their supplied Cable Modem, I could not stand the god awful wireless router that was bundled with it. I have a separate WAP but the router itself would go to pieces when doing any PtP downloading of over about 27 connections or so. It was so bad that you couldn't even access the web ui.
I picked up this modem based on the spectrum approved modem list and after a surprisingly short call, the spectrum tech had it activated. He was actually surprised at how fast it took their script and activated.
I speed tested it and was getting the same burst rate of about 120 down and 12 up. Now I can connect my $25 ebay refurbished dual core computer running pfSense as a wired router.
A little later I contacted Spectrum through chat support to inquire about removing their $5 "Spectrum WIFI" fee and off the cuf asked about upgrading to 300/20 service. I am not bundled and only purchase internet service through Spectrum. He told me that since I provided my own 300Mbps capable modem they had recently done away with the $200 "Upgrade fee" and the 300/20 would only be $20 more a month!
I asked him to activate the speed upgrade and instantly saw the cable modem power cycle. After it reset, I speed tested at 350/22 !
This modem is awesome.
