Phone calls still pops up on tv!

Save money monthly. Now gets internet speed I pay for. When someone calls house phone, name and number of caller still pops up on tv just like Comcast modem. All good so far
It is supposed to work with Xfinity. I have been having all sorts of issues with getting it going. The apps are not helpful and this seems like a huge waste of money spent.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The modem rocks, I have faster download speeds with wired ethernet, wifi connection. The majority of my home is ethernet wired.
Told my old modem was out of date and missing out on speed. I hooked cm2050V up and I was wowed with what I was missing which was speed. Love the shape of the unit smaller and looks sharp. Up and down loads were noticeably better. I have voice and the line is clear. I would recommend to anyone to change. Worth the money!
I had the Netgear CM1150V cable modem and kept getting emails from my provider (Comcast) that my modem wasn't taking advantage of the speeds being sent to me in my plan. My plan is just under one Gbps, and the CM1150V handled it well. But, since speed was close to the limit of the modem, I upgraded to this CM2050V cable modem.
First physical thing I noticed it was smaller and lighter compared to the 1150V, and was less warm (assuming it doesn't pull as much power, those same input adapter). For me, I'm finding, both modems for my internet plan (under 1 Gbps) perform identically the same. They both work very well for data and voice, both DOCSIS 3.1, both voice capable, but the 2050V does not provide me anything that I didn't have before. I'm sure if my plan download speed was over 1 Gbps, then the CM 2050V modem would be an advantage.
Don't notice any difference between the two modems for performance at provider speeds under 1 Gbps. Specs for both modems seem about the same, except for the higher port input speed of 2.5 Gbps in the CM2050V, vs the 1 Gbps in the CM1150V. Point is, if you're using the CM1150V, and your data plan is under 1 Gbps, no reason to upgrade yet.
I guess I have a back-up modem now. However, you can't go wrong with either modem. Both perform and work excellent, and my 1150V is over 3 years old with no issues.
I have Xfinity and wanted to stop paying the monthly rental fee. This modem works great and still has the voice line. Once I found the activate link on the xfinity app the process went smoothly.
