Re: [PLUG] Xfinity cable modem suggestions?

I was going to suggest that too, but you gotta see if they're in your area. Frontier fiber has been solid for me. Locked in at $30/mo for 2 years. 30 mbit down. Free modem/wi-fi router/install when I got on board earlier this year. Nov 24, 2015 11:52 PM、wes のメッセージ: >

yeah, I was suggesting he change areas of residence :) since there's basically nowhere that centurylink and frontier are both available... -wes On Wed, Nov 25, 2015 at 11:04 AM, wrote: > I was going to suggest that too, but you gotta see if they're in your area. > >

[PLUG] Xfinity cable modem suggestions?

Hey - Got fed up with CenturyLink's crappy service and signed up for Comcast/Xfinity 10Mbps service. I need to buy a modem and was looking for suggestions. I would be maintaining a LAN behind a router of some sort so a modem/router combo unit might be the better option, ideally with WiFi. Jeff

Re: [PLUG] Xfinity cable modem suggestions?

LIke Larry, I'd recommend an Arris (formerly Motorola) Surfboard: ARRIS SURFboard SB6141 Note that this is just a modem. Trying to buy an all-in-one usually leaves you with a substandard experience. I'd recommend getting that modem and a separate router with wifi. On Tue, Nov 24, 2015 at 8:52 PM
