Almost 5.4 due to misleading description

To be honest this is one of the most stable consumer electronics I have ever owned. Easy setup, easy access to web admin page. A reset is only required due to external Comcast signal quality issues etc. More than 2.5 years of stable operation. The only problem (as mentioned by others and in the title here) is that it doesn't support ANY close to 1.4 Gbps on Comcast. I've had a steady drop of 720Mbps on a 600Mbps plan (with Comcast's typical 20% overhead), but when they upgraded to 800Mbps last…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • is embarrassing

The CM700 has been working great since Comcast (for now) screwed up their crap.

Update: This modem has become really stable over the past few months. Either Comcast did indeed fix the internet problems in my area and/or updated the firmware for this modem after my initial problems. Now this modem works stably and rarely causes problems. For the price I have nothing to complain about. So far, this thing remains stable for the foreseeable future. Fingers crossed. When I bought this in April to replace an old Arris model cable modem (which had similar reset issues) I LOVED…

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
