This review is from: TP-Link DOCSIS 3.0 (8x4) High Speed Cable Modem | Great for Cable Internet plans Up to 150 Mbps | Certified for Comcast XFINITY, Spectrum, Cox and More (TC-7610)
Pros:
- Works with CableOne (ISP) and CableOne Business, which tops out at 200Mbit service.
- Easy setup
- TP-Link is becoming known as a brand which represents "good but not expensive"
- Pays for itself in under a year compared to renting the modem!
Cons:
- Extremely light weight plus narrow base means that it easily falls over when the attached cables have any tension or torsion.
- Limited to a bit under 340Mbit service. This is not a problem for most, but if your ISP has faster-than-350Mbit service, keep in mind that you cannot reach it with this unit. I could not test this unit at above 200Mb/s: This limit is based on the documented limits.
My ISP's highest-end package doesn't even come close to that.
Overall Review:
I have many friends which rent their cable modems for $6-$20/month depending on the ISP. Even at the lower-end ($6per month), this unit will pay for itself in less than a year, even considering time value of money. Typically, a purchase is considered a good investment if it makes back its cost in 3 years or less, so it makes absolutely no sense to continue renting unless your rental fee is extremely low (under $1.50/month).
