It's not a terrible firmware, but there are various bugs (ie: with SRA) in the DSL driver that have been subsequently fixed in the Actiontec and Zyxel firmware. If you have a marginal loop with background noise that frequently changes, you'll likely get better performance (less errors, fewer retrains) with the Zyxel or Actiontec gateways due to the improved firmware.
Due to the lack of firmware upgrades, the ALU Cellpipe modem has no roadmap for G.inp or G.vector support, so eventually the performance will be significantly reduced over the VDSL2 gateways. When vectoring is eventually enabled, we'll likely disable the ability of non-G.vector friendly CPE to train up, so expect no service if you're still using the Cellpipe modem.
