[PLUG-TALK] going to go with Xfinity aka comcast

[Drew G. Wallace]

Arris is also what I use. Don't skimp on the coaxial cable between the
modem and ISP's point of demarcation, the waveforms WILL suffer from signal
loss. You don't need to empty your wallet on the latest 3.1 DOCSIS modem in
many cases, but be ready to push back if support tries to place blame on a
"incompatibile" 3.0 modem or not using their rented equipment when calling
in to report a problem on a 10/1 connection.

Cross-version compatibility has been maintained across all versions of
DOCSIS, with the devices falling back to the highest supported version in
common between both endpoints: cable modem (CM) and cable modem termination
system (CMTS). For example, if one has a cable modem that only supports
DOCSIS 1.0, and the system is running 2.0, the connection will be
established at DOCSIS 1.0 data rates.
