Much has been posted about the Puma based modems having performance loss.
In my area, and with my preferred ISP, the speed packages are up to 250Mbps.
The modems that seem to be favoured are:-
- Technicolor TC4350 DOCSIS 3.0, 32x8 (Puma chip).
- TP-Link TC7650 DOCSIS 3.0, 24x8 (Broadcom chip).
Has anyone compared these modems and would the extra channels for bonding, on the TC4350, give any speed head room or would the Puma troubles just become more apparent?
For now the home isn't gaming. Just downloading and streaming of movies between 2 (3 max) users and possible multi web pages open at the same times of day.
The other (minor) thought is the TC7650 is 30% more to purchase right now and Giga speed is around the corner for the ISP, but it is unknown if the will be any tier added between the 250Mb and 1Gb.
