said by DarkenMoon:If you have a 8 or 16 channel modem, or your 4 channel modem works fine, I would hold off on getting a new one until Docsis 3.1 modems come out.
Yep,
Exactly what I plan on doing as my 4 channel Zoom 5341, that I own, works perfectly!
Even then, if I do decide to get a new one, I will check and see what my local office offers, if modems are still free then.
