Unfortunately, the Intel Puma chipset issues are still very much relevant even today, in 2020 (and, unfortunately, it affects most, if not all 32×8 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modems), so I would steer clear of these devices until a proper fix will come ( Intel keeps on trying to resolve this issue).ĭepending on your Internet data plan you could settle for something relatively cheap or go for the more high-performing modems capable of supporting 16×4, 24×8 or even 32×8 channel bonding. Since there still are so many DOCSIS 3.0 modems available, choosing the best cable modems is no easy feat and, considering that the top modems models are very similar from a technical point of view, the most differentiating aspect can only be the compatibility range.
I know that the DOCSIS 3.1 modems have entered the market for quite some time, but, unless you have access to Gigabit speeds (there still are a lot that do not) these devices won’t offer much improvement over the high-end DOCSIS 3.0 modem, except maybe a better load handling if you live in an area with congested nodes.
The DOCSIS 3.0 modem has been around for quite some time and its reach has spanned over both the entry-level segment (4×4 and 8×4 downstream / upstream channels) to the higher-end side where the modems can theoretically support Gigabit tier Internet data plans (24×8 and 32×8).
