![]() So you get 2Gbps to the modem and then what? You’re still capped at a Gig. On top of that, cat5e is still the “gold” standard for basic to advanced networking is still really only good for 1Gbps. There’s not a single manufacturer that even makes Docsis 4 modems yet. Not to mention the manufacturing costs of having to build docsis 4 modems to provide all their customers would be astronomical. Even if your device can pull a gig there’s a high chance whatever servers you’re connecting to(like steam or netflix) won’t need or won’t have the ability to push gig speed data to your devices. For Residential 99% of people don’t even have a device that’s Gig capable. I don’t really see the incentive to push past a Gig anyway unless its a business. Their Coax network is kinda bad and it would cost less in the long run to just run new fiber to the house instead of trying to make their existent Coax network perfect. If they run Fiber to just before the customer’s house they could achieve very fast speeds, maybe even up to 10Gbps. Yes I’ve heard they were looking into Docsis4. Those should dictate what you SHOULD spend. Netgear Nighthawk are HELLA dope & Orbi gets it in, too!!! But, the bottom line is: how much is your budget & how much square footage are you trying to cover. Forgive me for being a fanboy: I like Asus equipment (for router/mesh systems). A modest modem (I kinda dig Netgear modems.□□♂️□□♂️□□♂️) and prolly a gaming router (possibly mesh system). ![]() ![]() Honestly, if you & your family don't use a lot of bandwidth per month, I would STRONGLY recommend you buy your own equipment. Never were charged.but they "encouraged" us to consider XFI complete. I game often (Steam games & "updates" are extremely large!!!) and when my kids were in high school they and my wife used HELLA data every month!!! Yes.we usually were over the data threshold. I've had their bottom of the barrel modem, a number of Zoom modems, a Netgear modem with telephony, the XB7 and now the XB8. Sooooooo, I think someone already covered this but I'll take my stab at it: I've been with Comcast (Xfinity!?!?!) for roughly 10 years. ![]()
