Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ ARRIS Surfboard SB6190 DOCSIS 3.0 32x8 Cable Modem White - Spectrum, Cox, Xfinity & Others Approved (Renewed) by Johnathan Sherman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

DOCS 3.0 is good enough for speeds below 1Gbps. Connections

I recently upgraded my Spectrum internet service from 200 Mbps to 400 Mbps but found I needed to upgrade my modem to implement a speed boost. I have my own modem, not borrowed from Spectrum. After installing this SB6190 and registering myself with Spectrum, I immediately saw improvements. Now we get 480 MBPS DL and 24 MBPS UL. I've seen 230MB/s DL and 12MB/s UL max before. If you have 1 Gb/s internet this will not give you full speed, you need to upgrade to at least DOCSIS 3.1. But if like me you're only paying for 200-400Mbps then you can save some money and buy this lower rated DOCSIS 3.0 without noticing the difference.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Nothing
