What Xfinity cable modem with voice.

782 100 November 4, 2025 at 02:51 PM
Right now I have an ARRIS SVG2482AC that I own (not rent) and I was thinking of an upgrade.

The plan I have is up to 1300 mbps download and 35 mbps upload.

The only one listed as compatible is a Netgear CM2050V if I want voice for my landlines.

Is this a good choice?

Also this new one only has one LAN port. The Arris has 4, which is what I now use and need.
Thanks for any suggestions.

In my opinion Netgear is always a reliable choice. Given that it's your only choice, no point in discussing price points...

Looks like you'll need a switch if you upgrade, they're not expensive at all...

Lastly, I doubt you're going to notice any difference if you upgrade so unless you're having problems I don't see the need, but then again I don't know your usage patterns...

The question to ask is what would the cost be if you removed the Voice part?
You can get Ooma for ten bucks a month with all kinds of features or the free version for just taxes. https://www.ooma.com/home-phone-service/premier/

Last time I updated my plan. It did not cost more for the voice. You just needed the higher-priced modem.

I still keep a home number landline and use the free Ooma. And then still keep my old business landline through Xfinity.
