However, DOCSIS 3 has the ability to use multiple downstream and upstream channels at the same time channel bonding to maintain the maximum possible speed.
The D3 modem, depending on how new it is and how many channels the ISP makes available, has access to 2x-8x more bandwidth than a D2 modem, allowing for a somewhat more consistent connection.

So, there is an added cost of buying a Gigabit router on top of this 3. The second issue with a 3. Yes, it can deal with the one or two Gbps of speeds, but its upper limit is 10 Gbps. It might take 5 or even 10 years for the companies to catch up with it, and by that time, your modem will become outdated.
Newer modems would have come that are much cheaper, and offer high quality-price ratios. They are incomplete and have a long way to go before becoming good enough for the general public. However, if you want the best of speeds, and are content with replacing this device every 2 years, go ahead with the purchase. I think such high data rates are crucial only for gamers and streamers, and they are the only ones who should be spending this amount of money on these modems.
Apart from these people, I would recommend you to wait a little bit more. Let the devices evolve, and when the time is right, make the purchase. It might give you a little less speed while downloading large files, but it will not be a deal-breaker by any means.

Unlike telephone and cable wires, there are no pre-existing networks, so their range is limited only to selected places. DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line technology, which uses the existing telephone lines for the transmission of internet waves.
Other benefits include support for: User-defined interactive programming Time-shifted and place-shifted video, such as video-on-demand services Interactive online gaming Convergent media services, for example, allowing data to be viewed on a TV and video content to be viewed on a computer monitor bit AES encryption IPv6 The table below provides a comparison of the speeds, channels, features, benefits and services offered by the various DOCSIS versions: DOCSIS 1.
Also, security and network management are greatly enhanced.
