Item did not work
Did not work. I spent 3 hours on the phone with Time Warner Cable trying to get it to work; but it would not work. I ended up returning it to seller.

Not lasting hardware, unfortuantely
I've had my modem for 2 years and it just now conked out on me for no reason (everytime I would try to upload to the internet, it would reset my connection). I suppose I still came out ahead of paying $5/mo in rent to Comcast, but I had hoped this product would last longer than this. I had been optimistic about Zoom given the reviews, but don't plan to buy from them again.

Not too shabby
The cable modem I bought works very well. Only bad thing was it had a sticky residue covering the outside of it otherwise was a great buy.

If you're thinking about it, just get it.
It arrived shortly after ordering. The prongs on the plug were a little bent, but I just got out the pliers and fixed it. Just plug everything in how comcast, or whoever, has theirs set up and you're almost there. The next time you try to log on to the internet, it will walk you through how to register it and then internet will be yours and you will no longer have to pay comcast their 7 dollars every month for a little box that you can install all by yourself.

Inexpensive but cheap
I bought this item through Fry's for a little bit more, but I needed a cable modem right away. I got home thinking I got a deal, and for the first two months, I did. For the last two weeks the cable modem has been dropping the carrier signal about twice a day. For regular browsing this wouldn't be a big deal, but it becomes a hassle to start netflix movies over and to repeatedly get kicked out of games. I have contacted customer service, but do not have a resolution yet. I will keep you posted.The verdict:-Easy to use and set up-Performs well when it works-Has a life span of 2 monthsSave yourself the time and buy a cable modem that cost $20 more. You will be happier in the long run.

Get what you pay for... oh wait.
Strange, because when I purchased my Zoom modem it was under $30 and it was the defining reason I bought it. Over the last year it has been my keeper of the internets. Delivering all my content to my router and throughout the house. It worked great up until about a month ago. It would start resetting itself every other day or so where I would have to power cycle it by unplugging it. Within the last week, it started doing that every 3 hours or less. Very annoying.We don't have TV in our home because it's the devil. That, and there's so much available content on the internet through Hulu, Netflix and other services we don't need traditional cable. The linchpin that was the Zoom modem finally gave out. I'm sure they are reliable, but it definitely felt like a cheaper product from the moment I opened it and set it up. Of course it's easy to install, it's a cable modem, and like most electronics you know with a day if it's going to work or not. I think the little fella just got over heated where I was putting it against the wall and gave up on life.Not a bad product, but if it's $59.99 as currently advertised I would pick up a Motorola or other brand.
