You need at least a 16x4 Modem, as 200 Mbps is the top for an 8x4, and the extra channels will help during peak times. Im not sure what Spectrum specifically supports, but Netgear and Arris are top brands. If you want a fuck it solution check out Docsis 3.1 modems, they will support all the speed tiers. Stay away from 32x8 Docsis 3.0 modems as the Intel Puma 6 chip in them is garbage.

The 6183 or 8200 are perfect. If you plan on the gigabit plan eventually then the 8200 is what you'll want but otherwise the 6183 is perfectly fine.

Aside price, I don't know of any difference.

 

Edit:

whoops, missed the channel difference

[oskar23]

this one has DOCSIS 3.0 and 24x8 Channel Bonding

the other one 16x4) DOCSIS 3.0

 

and for me I dont even know what difference it makes if any

The Arris model is a 16x4 modem while the Netgear is 24x8. Basically the more downstream and upstream channels the faster speeds the modem can support. Also even on lower speeds more channels help combat congestion.

So basically its better to go with netgear
