Any thoughts on a Linksys DPC3008 Modem

[86-Link]

So a friend of mine who is in the army has a Linksys DPC3008 modem that he swears is amazing . Anyway, he's moving so he said he would sell it to me for $50. I read that it is a fast modem, but maybe it has some firmware issues. Anyone here on TPU ever use one? Other thoughts on pulling the trigger?

Better make sure you've got Comcast (or whatever firmware's on it, as I'm not sure if you can flash them over to another ISP). Honestly, almost any DOCSIS 3.0 modem is going to be similar. Most commonly used around here is the Motorola Surfboard. Just make sure you're going to get around over 18Mbps down speeds from your ISP before bothering to purchase a DOCSIS 3.0 over an existing DOCSIS 2.0 (that's about what the 2.0's limit you to in my experience).

I used a DPC3010 (for Cox ISP), and it worked great until I was moved over to an eMTA. Still have it here, need to list it at some point.
