Excellent Choice for 300 Megabit Optimum Service
Looking to eliminate my monthly rental fee with Optimum, probably a common topic. Reading the reviews this modem seemed to be compatible with the service. Plugged in the unit and within minutes internet was detected and communicating with Optimum. Using the online portal, I registered the modem and within 10 minutes, I no longer needed my rental modem.
Not everything was perfect, my router/network required a hard restart to work out some issues. For the first 2 days I suffered some intermittent connectivity issues and loss in transfer rates. After a hard restart of the entire system along with the modem, all the issues sorted themselves out.
Performance seems to have improved over my old rental unit. Pings have dropped by about 4ms and transfer is a hair faster. I only have 200 megabit service so I cannot speak to top end of the modems ability.
Given the excellent price and good performance this item is a must buy for anyone looking to drop their rental modem fees.
