Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Speaking as a cable technician for one of the larger companies out there, this runs cooler (less heat produced, more efficient with electricity) and more stable (doesn't drop off nearly as easily due to low dBmV or low MER signal issues) than the rental Ubee, Technicolor, and Arris models my company "includes for free with your package". And yes, the AQM also works with the Cisco CMTS we use are our hubs currently, at least in my city that I work in. I bought one myself in December, it's been running a server without interruptions. Of course any line damage or RF leakage issues will still need repairs, but I've seen it more than once with weak signal on the coax (sometimes even negative dBmV levels from the tap), but yet this modem stays locked on without issues. That's impressive, and only one or two rental model modems we offer (which are exclusive to business class, not residential customers) gets close to that feat. Any one-star reviews you see here are likely going to be significant leakage issues inside or outside the home, almost never the modem itself with a well-made model like this MB8600. If the manufacturer changes who is designing & making this (i.e.: no longer Motorola engineering), I will update this review. Until then, 5-stars and my non-official (can't speak on behalf of the company I work for of course) but personal experienced-based approval.
