| At the cable place they were amazed the modem was from 2006. The new modem is really fast with Wifi is built in. Technology, go figure. |

When buying a new modem, I'd stick with Motorola, and nothing docsis 2.0 or below. Always go 3.0 if you have a choice. If you see any equipment labeled Arris, HITRON, or SMC, run the fuck away because they're gonna break within about 20 seconds.
Typically it is better to go with a modem, and a router instead of a modem/router gateway, as that brings its own complications, and smashing all the internals together makes for a shitty wireless experience with poor range. Motorola SB6141 (8 bonded downstream channels, 4 up), and a dual band gigabit router are the best options out there at the moment. This is all from my experience, so take it with a grain of salt, but I do work tech support for an ISP. |
