Ended up with a Zoom 5370 instead of a TP-Link 7610. Both are DOCSIS 3.0, so doesn't matter.
I pay $29.95/month for 30-5 service (Mbps downstream-upstream). Here are the test results on the new Zoom 5370. Prior to this was renting an Arris DG860 from Wide Open West, and unfortunately don't have test results for it. It wasn't necessarily slow but wanted to stop renting it for $10/month plus the 860 is notorious for continuing to monkey with packets while in full bridge mode (no NAT) even though you've disabled the firewall (Arrius DG860 is a combo modem/router). That schiznit was most apparent when I would connect to my workstation at the office, from home via Cisco AnyConnect VPN, as the connection always had lag spikes and random VPN disconnects. So far so good on the VPN with the Zoom 5370 but then it is a modem-only with no firewall and ALG.
I have it connected to a Cisco WiFi router with SPI Firewall active (VPN Pass Through enabled).
