We have been cstomers sincw 1997 and until a xfinity store caused problem we were using a modem that was installed after we moved in here. I used this modem for voice until the store marked it and my owned internet modem destroyed. Now I have a DOCSIS 3.0 modem in the basement that I want to replace. If a modem works for voice I do not care what about the internet speed. That is my problem. I would like to find a modem for one third the cost of the ones listed. David   ... View more

I precede the internet not to mention WIFI. I have two modems in my house, in the basement for vouce and  one onthe second floor for internet. Even though the basement modem was internet end of life for the internet it was still fine for voice. My aim was to buy the cheapest modem that worked with voice and its internet function was of no interest.The max internet speed for the one I purchased is for 260 mpbs but it it comcast certified for voice. ...

I am a customer whose was wired before wifi came to Comcast. So our home phome modem is in the basement and the intrnet modem is on the second floor. Due to a xfinity store foul up our original  wall mounted small phone modem was replaced by a huge standalone gateway that had the wifi turned off (harder than it should have been),  and no intrnet connected.  What I want to do is buy a modem for less than $50 that will work with comcast's voice system instead of a DOCSIS 3.1 $160 modem. For all I care it could be a DOCSIS 1.0 internet one if the phone was still compatible. xfinity actual voice service compatibility on this website's list is questioned by sellers. Since most of the information is internet related and not voice I wonder what to buy. ... View more
