SB6190 is the top dog.  32 channels down and 8 up.  Supposedly supports gigabit speeds even though no ISP uses DOCISIS 3 for gigabit.

 

Cox in my area only offers 24 channels down and 4 up, so I'm not fully utilizing my modems capabilities.

 

You don't need a modem that expensive though unless your internet plan is that good (mine is 300 down / 30 up).  SB6183 can handle up to 600Mbps.

Its best to buy a separate modem and router. Those gateway devices seem to suck. Your ISP will have a list of approved modems. Then just go get a decent wireless AC router. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Rogers in Toronto has just begun offering 1 gigabit down and 50 mb up over DOCSIS 3.1.

Which is a catch 22 because I don't think any DOCSIS 3.1 modems can be bought right now.  Might be wrong, but it's bleeding edge..

 

I see the Touchstone CM8200 was "released" mid-october, but nowhere to buy it.

Not up here. You can't buy your own modem. Rogers will not activate any modem not provided by them, so if they are offering the service (which they are) they have the hardware available.
