Planning to switch to RCN's 330 package from the 155 I have now. A rep told me I'd need a Docsis 3.0 modem with 24x8. I'm going to get an Orbi and there's an offer now for the router/satellite plus the CM700 (3.0) for $430 or the CM1000 (3.1) for $470. Many people are saying to avoid the CM700 for the Puma chip. The other option (if I stick with Netgear) is the CM600 but there's no combo offer for that.
So, if I get the Orbi and CM600 it will cost $460 vs the Orbi and CM1000 for $470. I know RCN says it doesn't support 3.1, but from what I've heard, they also don't push updates to BYOMs. Should I play it safe with CM600 or go for the CM1000 - I might switch to their 1000mbps if they allow BYOM in the near future.
