I do not know if it is EMTA. But the one that I have does work for cable, internet, and phone service with my local provider. I do not use Comcast, but a company called EnTouch. So far, so good with my purchase. I have not had any problems. The modem is working perfectly.

I bought one for the same reason - to save the $8/month to Comcast. After many hours and many calls, a tech (not Comcast!), told me that it would never work properly for all three functions - cable, phone & internet. He said their modems have some firmware that is proprietary but they will delight it. Long story short: pay Comcast the $8 and "Enjoy" it!

I bought the Arris TM802G from Amazon because Comcast said I had to have a Doc Sis 3.0 telephony modem. Comcast said they weren't able to support this modem. I told Comcast that I was using it just for phone and cable and they were able to install it over the phone. It should work for Internet as well.

I am using the exact same modem and I have xfinity internet service. I have no issues at all. Works perfect. Price compare with costco before you buy it.

Yes. I work for comcast and purchased this one. It is great. You save money from the rental of equipment. If you are not even planning on getting phone, it is still a good choice to get this one because if you roll into a triple play you would have to pay rent for a similar phone modem.

Yes indeed, it worked for me. That's all you need. No more rental fee..... But I would highly recommend for you to get in contact with your local cable company before purchasing this modem.... Just to be on the safe side. Mine has been working for over 2 yrs and the installation took only a few mins over the phone with the cable co. Good Luck.

No this modem does not support comcast phone service. There is a modem arris on amazon that does.

Modem will or should work with any service provider. I have comcast. However, you will have to contact AT&T; and give them information ( as I did with Comcast) about the modem ( they will tell you what is needed) before it will work.

It worked for me. I suggest calling Comcast first, however, to confirm that. There is a Comcast website that lists all the acceptable modems. Make sure it shows up. You also have to spend a few minutes on the phone with Comcast to change over. It is not simply switching it out. So, get the info first. It has been too long since I did it to recall all the particulars. Make sure the unit you buy has rechargeable batteries for backup. Hope this helps.

Since you're using your own modem. There would be no fee from the cable company to rent one. The modem works just fine on Comcasts network. The cable company will probably try to talk you into getting a newer modem for reasons they don't understand themselves. Don't buy into their BS

There is a very long review, dated October 18th, 2012 that explains it all. Try the auto install first. In my case it found a modem, but the wrong one. Look very carefully. If this is the wrong one, don't go any farther. Just call Xfinity and they will walk you through it. Make sure to tell them you want to port your number to the new modem. Although it was a process, it was worth it. Also make sure to call xfinity again after you have returned the modem to a service center. They have to be told to take the $7.00 monthly lease charge off your bill. I'm assuming you have comcast/xfinity.

I was (as of two months ago) A Comcast Tech Support rep. Will this work with Comcast? yes and no. If you already have it applied to your account, then it will continue you work. However with Blast Speed you will be limited in terms of speed using this modem. If you have Extreme 105, or you are trying to add this modem, then the Comcast System which we use to add/provision modems will NOT allow it to be added.So, when the Comcast rep tells you it can't work.. it's because Comcast made the decision to no longer support Docsis 2.0 since only two of their internet plan "play nice" with this technology.. which, from a business standpoint, makes sense.

Depends on what service you have. The type of modem is different for DSL vs. Cable vs. Gateway (a modem that allows for phone service). Also, some modems work with some providers and not others: Verizon vs. Comcast vs. Other. Once you answer the first issue, you can narrow down a host of good modems (except for Gateways--there aren't too many good ones of those out there). Then you can compare the modem with the provider's compatibility lists.What service provider do you have and what kind of modem type do you need?

It will work for Internet and Telephone. It will not work for Cable TV. You need a separate cable box for the TV, but this does all the rest. The modem in the Arris TM802G is a DOCSIS 3.0 and works great. I don't have Comcast, and I don't know if they will authorize the telephone portion of the modem, but there should be no problem with using it as an internet modem. Time-Warner who I have authorized the modem, but refused to authorize the telephone in this modem, so I disconnected it and now use a Zoom modem. I also no longer have their telephone, so I've got an Arris TM802G for sale if I ever get around to putting it up somewhere. Keep in mind, this does not have WiFi, which is one of the reasons I bought this modem and not the TM852G which includes WiFi. I wanted to use my own router which will outperform anything that is integrated into a telephony modem.

It works fine with Comcast, however make sure that you check the firmware of the modem after installation. If its less than 2010, then you will have to contact your internet provider to get it upgraded. This can only be upgraded by the internet provider.

No, it is just a cable modem for internet only. It's not for a broadband phone line or a router to connect other computers too. You would need a router to have more devices hooked to it and have wireless capability. It does work well with Comcast internet only tho.

I do not know if it works with Comcast, When I lived in Haverstraw NY, I did not have it but was told that it was. I then moved to Queens and have Time Warner Road Runner they said no problem, but I did as it was registered to a person in the South West and Customer Service never followed up. Check the ID #'s first as it may be stolen or still registered. Also check for a battery supply as the two Batts are old and should be replaced. Yes, it has two phone plugs, one USB, one Ethernet and one for the cable service. Happy Hunting!

Amazon just forwarded your question to me since I bought this same modem recently. I can't answer if the one you're purchasing is brand-new, since you'd be buying from a different seller. But, I can attest that the one I received was advertised as "used - Like new", and indeed it was - excellent condition, but not original packaging. If by triple-play you mean it handles internet and telephone, yes -- it has both ethernet and telephone jacks as outputs. Did not come with battery. My problem with the modem was that Time Warner doesn't support it! Tried to connect with Time Warner, they could see it, and could see it was working, but couldn't get it to connect - until they finally told me it's not one of the modems their system supports. So I've still got the thing here, as far as I know works fine. Only paid $35 plus shipping for it. If you'd be interested in trying it, I'd sell it out for the same price - much cheaper than I've seen offered anywhere else. Respond if you would like to consider the offer.

I've had no issues with it. The tech when he installed my service tried to upsell me a newer modem saying this one was too slow. I constantly get 8 Mbps down and 5 up. And yes I have Comcast.
