What customers say
Customers highly value this modem for its robust performance, especially when paired with gigabit internet plans, noting superior stability over older models. A key feature is its essential voice support, making it ideal for users wanting to own their equipment while keeping bundled phone services. Reviewers appreciate the future proofing offered by DOCSIS 3.1 technology. The primary friction point involves the initial setup; provisioning the voice line often demands lengthy coordination with the Internet Service Provider, causing setup frustration. While hardware quality is rated well, the premium cost leads some to question the overall value if voice features are unused. It is a powerful, specialized device that performs excellently once deployed.
