Pros & Cons
Pros
This modem replaces a model that didn't support voip. It works well, and has the full modem, wireless router, telephone. Ethernet.
The sbv2402 is a good modem but it appears the config file installed by xfinity throttles the speeds. Xfinity needs the hfc mac for activation purposes. Setup via the x finity app on my cell.
I like to say i'm pretty savvy with routers, but this one took me some time to figure out. All in all a fairly painless process. Seller shipped item fast and packed it securely.

So this one will be paid for in less than 5 weeks.
And i'm saving $10 a month on my internet bill because i'm not having to rent one from xfinity!
Shipping
I contacted arris and had a relatively short wait time, all things considered.
It took our internet company a couple of hours to get it going.
Competitiveness
This arris svg2482ac is far superior in its wifi signal since one channel is 5g.
Personally i like this better than the xfinity box.
I tried to install but the internet provider made it super hard, and the wifi had issues compared to the previous router so i'm... Read More
I am going to replace it now with the motorola mt8733, but only because the motorola offers gig speed.
