Can this be used with comcast phone service, plugged in the modem and not the wall?

Hey this is Nina I am not sure but give it a try. Plug it in the modem and see if it works and it not, plug it into the wall using comcast service. It should work either way. Nina

No, the pluglink documents say it can prevent it from working or degrade its network performance. So it has to be directly on the wall outlet.

Yes, the device is connected between the phone and wall outlet. A voip line should also work.

You can connect it to a cable modem, but it will not replace the cable modem itself.

If Comcast uses cable signal (with a coax connection), then no. This is for DSL; so it needs a landline-type connection - though you don't usually need a landline account. We used it with AT&T dsl. And yes, it is a modem and router all in one. Takes in the signal and pushes it out too. :-)

Yex, I have Phone service from Comcast along with TV and internet. It works fine. Really a nice phone. The ringer is in the receiver.

You should check with Mediacom, they may have a webpage that lists which modems work with their service. I use mine with Comcast and they have a webpage that lists all the compatible modems.

The modem works great with Comcast and is great for high speed internet, however, because of the phone service from comcast you need a special modem from the company that includes a 14 hour battery of operation, since the phone service needs to work for emergencies even with the power grid down, so in other words NO you can not use this modem for a phone service thanks

If you are expecting this to act as the phone modem (eMTA) as well, it will not. For one, this is only a HSN modem (or internet only cable modem) and secondly Comcast is not currently allowing customer owned modems for their Comcast Digital Voice service (despite anything that they may say on their website).

No, this is a DSL modem compatible with the phone company's older DSL plans. It can be used with AT&T. Comcast is a cable company using a completely different technology using the same cables that bring cable TV to your house. For comparison, this modem uses the same wires that bring landline service (if any) to your house.

Yes! This is Comcast's newest modem and is designed specifically to work with their service.

this is NOT a cable compatible modem. This modem is for DSL connection use only. You need to continue to search for a Cable Compatible modem... it should have a spot in the back for you to screw in your com cast cable line. Possibly refer to Comcast customer support for an updated list of compatible modems. I'd hate to spend the money and it doesn't do what you need.

I am not sure I have mine hooked up to an net modem. You could always buy it if the connections are the same and if it does not work return it. Sorry!

yes but it will interrupt the fax transmission. I'm not sure how you are using the modem. It connects to the computer and then the wall. The fax and/or phone are connected via a splitter from the wall jack. But regardless it will disconnect when a fax or a call comes in.

Hello, I believe you mean coax cable compatible? If you are talking about regular cable outlet cable (like Comcast or similar) yes, it is compatible with that. The only way, this modem can get internet signal is through the coax cable from the wall. I hope this answers your question.

The wired phone can be used when the electricity is off only if you have regular phone service that is still working (i.e., wired service from your local phone company). If you have Comcast internet phone service, it will not work since your modem runs on electricity.

I don't think so, but I don't know absolutely. The device had to be entered into Comcast's registry as the modem device, but there was NO software (CD or otherwise) other than the Model Number, the serial number and the CM MAC number. I think the only thing proprietary about Comcast's "rental" modems for customers are the rental fees !
