No complaints here.
By the way, I'm on the other side of the house from my Comcast modem, connected with a BPL (broadband over power line) in house network. After unsuccessfully screwing around with wi-fi routers, repeaters and all sorts of wireless hardware, I finally discovered BPL at the recommendation of a techie at Staples, of all places. With the purchase of two simple plug-in units for about a hundred bucks, I now get exactly the same speed here in my den, on the other side of the house, as I do right at the modem where the Comcast cable comes into the house. I also have an Apple Airport Express modem plugged into the BPL here under my desk, so I get that same speed wirelessly on the other side of the room where I'm sitting, powering our Roku without a glitch.
