Pros: Reliable, unlike the Ubee DDW36C TWC uses
16 x 4 bonding, the highest available for cable service
16x downstream bonding can alleviate congestion problems for some cable areas.
TWC allows existing customers to plug in this modem and activate it online, no phone required.
Supports Time Warner Cable's Maxx tiers
Gives detailed signal power/dBmV information
Cons: Expensive
Broadband speeds of course depend on your service package and service provider, so this modem is (currently) overkill for most US cable packages.
Overall Review: TWC provided a Ubee modem to go with its new Maxx service packages. Unfortunately it was experiencing heavy DNS resolution failures multiple times a week necessitating a modem restart to fix. TWC was unable to resolve the problem and after getting fed up with them I bought this as it had the same 16x4 bonding and was rated for TWC Maxx. After a month of use I have not seen a single DNS resolution error or had to restart the device once.
Worth noting that the modem I received from Newegg is Arris branded (not Motorola as seen in the product photo), so Newegg is shipping the newest revision for this model.
Pros: 16ch modem ready for TWC MAXX top-tier service at 300mbps. Easy set-up, 3 wires, a phone call to your carrier and you're done. Stable as can be; I haven't rebooted for any problems since my MAXX upgrade went live a couple months ago.
Cons: Hole-lee blue LED's batman! No seriously, you thought the little light on your other home electronic that's annoying was bright, you ain't seen nothing yet. No lie, I can read by the light from this modem. The white plastic blocks absolutely no light, the thing just glows blue, the light leaks through all the ventilation holes, and there are multiple fed right out the front panel.
I'm trying to plan some sort of enclosure that will block as much of the ambient light as possible, but still allow me to see the front lights and allow it to breath. I've also ordered some LightDims to reduce the intensity of the lights on the front.
I've never had to resort to these measures before because of an annoying light, so I had to knock an egg off, otherwise this is a 5-egg buy.
Overall Review: I really wish Moto/Arris would have offered this in black, then it wouldn't have been so bad. I really do recommend this thing, but be prepared if you can't sleep with bright lights or can't hide it someplace that will block the light. Mine's in my living room and I can use it as a nightlight to leave the bedroom and get to the bathroom.
Cons: - White Color
- Bright LED
- Warm to the touch
Overall Review: I have Comcast 50/5 and was getting 30/5 with my old Motorola SB5101U. After upgrading to the Motorola SB6183. I am now getting 60/6.
Wish there was a black or gray color version.
Now my living room has a blue poky-dot nightlights. Thanks to the bright LED escaping the doted vent holes.
Pros: I did have to reboot my old SB6141 occasionally as it would downgrade to about 1% of provisioned speed. Not anymore. This one has been stable for 1 month with no reboot necessary. I have TWC 100Mbps plan.
Cons: I can think of a single con, and I am picky. Maybe could use more bells and whistles in the management interface?
Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this modem.
Pros: Upgraded from the Motorola 6121 where I was only getting roughly 128down on my 150down Xfinity connection. After upgrade I am now seeing 168down. That's roughly 40more down with just a modem upgrade.
Cons: None so far yet. I just hooked it up and opened browser and went to xfinity activation page enter my details and within seconds I was up and running
Overall Review: I had looked at the 6141 but for the price difference it's worth knowing I have twice the capacity of the 6141 and quadruple that of the 6121
Overall Review: I had a Cisco modem that was purchased through Cox and it was only for 8 channels. There wasn't anything wrong the modem, but I needed a device that had room to grow. Arris has been around for awhile and they make a decent product. It was definitely worth the switch and easy to swap over.

Pros: -Handles everything up to 500mbit connections
-FAST channel bonding and reconnection after power cut etc.
Cons: -Bright lights with no way to turn them off
-doesn't work with static IP services (comcast business)
Overall Review: Got this modem to replace my comcast supplied combo modem/router business gateway. Once I got to the right person, activation was a snap.
One thing to note is that this will not work with any static IP services, as comcast is concerned. This still is easily the best modem on the consumer market, and works great as a business solution provided you don't need a static IP.
