I've got comcast and mine is a cisco. It's a tower shape xfinity xb3 and says 105+ on the back. Hope that helps.

I have the Arris modem from comcast at a cost (with home telephone) but the router is just a cheap Dlink..May have cost $25 or so years ago at BestBuy..

If you are not receiving the best possible speed from friggin Comcast with THIER EQUIPMENT then raise hell with them on the phone..Phillipines first,sometimes Mexico..Good Luck..Sometimes that $10 a month is worth HOURS on the phone..COMCAST SUCKS

I have comcast internet also.

For the modem, buy motorola sb6141. If you have the cash, buy sb6183.

For the router, make sure to get a gigabit router, so you can go over 93Mbps. I use the tp-link wdr3600. I get 180 Mbps with this.

And yeah, don't pay comcast $10 a month anymore.
