  • Has a FAN inside, constant noise.
    Reviewed by Ghost - January 8, 2021

    The Modem/router has a fan inside that is constantly running. Very annoying, unbearable if you are used to a quiet room. We cancelled our Videotron service because they didn't agree to give is a non Helix old style modem instead, with same service and price plan as Helix.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
