Pros & Cons
Pros
Not a con if misunderstand the features. Between adapting 3. And 3. Everything is noticeably faster. I also like that it uses the broadcom.
First time upgrading from docsis 3. Easy to install and pre approved for * cable. Just started my 4th without those pesky comcast fees. They really want you to use their app, which made registering it pretty simple.
Cons
I’m not sure if it was a lie to avoid having to send a replacement or if it’s really that faulty. After months of frustrated troubleshooting, it's now dead. No easy or simple path to online tech support was found.
The modem has rebooted itself at random. I’ve suffered from packet loss intermittently.
Highlights
Quality
This is a great modem - showed up early and intact, no doubt due to the quality packaging they put it in.
Always dependable and compatible with the new gig services (1000 mbit/s) that most internet service providers now offer.
I saw an older review where it gave a couple of cons for the sb8200.
Looked around and decided to stay with the same brand, arris.
Packaging/appearance
No option to do that exists in the sb8200.
Competitiveness
We use this arris sb8200 cable modem on all our home network + wifi installations.
I have been running my arris surfboard sb8200 docsis 3.
Smaller and uses less power than the company-provided modem.

If using a router make sure you are using a bandwidth signal that is not overlapping with your neighbors to get the best speeds
