Arris T25
The Arris T25 modem shows up as being supported by Xfinity. Has anyone recently tried and successfully provisioned this modem with Xfinty? Does Xfinity push the most current firmware out? Have you been happy with the Puma7 chipset? Any input would be helpful.
Thanks!

After more research I did not purchase the T25 (amazon sale $145). There are are number of posts having issues with the puma chip. Thought I was going to give it a try but Best Buy had the netgear cm2050v on sale today and had much more positive views. Was $350 today $300 plus trade in old network item got another 15% off and that brought it down to $255. Thought I would save some trouble shooting time/effort so I went with the netgear. Both are on the approved equipment list for xfinity.

I have the Arris T25 and it works fine with Xfinity. But recently Xfinity sent me an email saying my modem is "out of date" or some such thing. I think if I upgraded the firmware I should get better performance. I'm getting up to about 500Mb downstream and up to about 22 Mb upstream. But a friend nearby says he's getting 50 Mb upstream using Xfinity rented equipment. So I'm wondering if I need to upgrade the firmware on my already DOCSIS 3.1 modem?

I thought the T25 was good for download speeds of 800 Mbps. Is your internet plan faster then 800 Mbps, Like 1 gig or more? Xfinity has to upgrade the firmware, you can't do it by yourself. They have to send it to your modem.
