Motorola MB8600 vs Motorola MB8611

So these modems are not the rock solid modems from the early Motorola generation many of us have become accustomed. I took away two star for the hassle caused by the modem and the aggravation of having to deal with Comcast automated voice hell system to reach a real human every time I had to call them. Of course Comcast could have easily told me it was the modem but refused to look at it since it wasn't company equipment. It was customer owned equipment

I just set up a Motorola MB8611 (2.5 Gbps) a few days ago. It stays cool and is rock solid so far.

This time it got me a bit. Spectrum in our area has been steadily increasing our cable internet speeds. I was going to blame Spectrum for us continually loosing connectivity but I did some hunting and found out our modem was just cooking and could not keep up with the upgraded internet service we were getting and using as we have steadily doubled the number of devices we have using it. Spectrum has more then doubled our speed in the last two years, and we have got at least 2x the devices using our internet now - no small wonder the old modem cut out

Since we are upgrading our speeds constantly, these types of comms can come out from time to time. The Motorola MB8611 is definitely an advanced mode and able to handle our up to 1.2GBs download speeds.
