Cable Modem Buying Tips and FAQ's
All Charter Spectrum Internet Service subscribers, buy any of these DOCSIS 3.0 modems. If you subscribe to service over 60 Mbs, choose a modem with 8-channel download bonding to maximize your speed. They are the ARRIS/Motorola SBG6580, SB6141, SB6183 and SB6190. For plans over 100 Mbps, buy one with at least 16 down channels. They are the Arris SB6183 and SB6190. If you have telephone service with Charter too, these won't work.
All of these modems are high quality and have pretty much the same features, except for number of download channels and those with routers built in. So don't worry too much about deciding which one to buy.
Price should be a main factor in your buying decision. Buy one now and start saving those rental fees!

ARRIS / Motorola SB6141 SURFBoard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem
I have Spectrum phone and internet service and an Arris TM502G. If it makes sense I would like to replace it with something that will be approved for Spectrum Phone and Internet.
I see their list but I can't tell if they are for BOTH phone and internet. All I see is internet.
Can anyone help this novice?
Thanks in advance. Michael
