I'm done with their modem and want to purchase my own. I have their Blast! internet. I am using their POS Ubee modem. So whats out there to replace their ridiculous rental fee? I am currently running a netgear router.

For all the "ditch Comcast and get Dish" comments, your not helping me with my question.

one on the supported list

be sure to call in to customer support to give them the new MAC address before you unplug everything.

select BLAST on the speed, DOCSIS 3.0 and RETAIL ONLY to narrow it down. There are two with three of three stars. One of those.

I picked up a Motorola/Arris SBG6580 Surfboard wireless modem for $80.  Works great. Oh, yeah- fuck xfinity/Comcast!  Crooks.

Modem activation was automatic when I switched mine a couple days ago.  Just had to log in and wait 15 minutes.

This. You just missed some deals on them, but more will come along I'm sure.

I have the 6121 and lately I've been pulling down 90Mbps.

I've been running the SB6141 for about a year with zero problems.  Download speeds are slightly more than what I actually pay for.

I have the arris sb6141 modem.  Works great.  Good luck getting them to set it up.  What a train wreck I had to go through for something so simple.

I couldn't get my surfboard to work right, would randomly reset etc. Got a "Zoom 5341 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem 5341J" that works like a dandy.
