Forgive the FUD, please.
If you're buying this for Xfinity I would get a used coda for $40 on eBay, that one will get you increased upload speeds if you are in an upgraded area and this one will not.

Also, this is honestly not that good of a deal and generally just a poor product to purchase in 2025. Refurbs are $25 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/ARRIS-SURF...B06XPRDV
Do keep in mind that most ISPs will only provision Docsis 3.0 modems for 300-500 mbit these days regardless of what speed tier you pay for. Ignore the advertising - this will certainly not do 1.4 gbit (it has a 1 gbit port), and probably closer to 400 mbits at most American ISPs. Comcast in particular only provisions D3.0 modems for 400 mbit maximum.
Personally, I'm partial to the Arris S33 for a good D3.1 + 2.5gbe modem.
That will get you increased upload speeds for free if you live in an upgraded Xfinity area. They can be had for $40-50 on eBay used.
