as per Comcast certification it is rated for 250/300 Mbps.

CM500V (This is ONLY a Modem + Voice) and NOT a Router. You will need a seperate Router.
&nbsp;
This works for upto ~250/300 Mbps (currently as per Comcast provisioning standards)..&nbsp;

thanks for the response and yes it seems to be the only netgear modem with voice capability i can find anywhere. however, it cannot achieve the speed you quoted...its actually rated at less than or just about 50Mbps
