Yeah that’s why I own the one I have now. They are pretty clear on the terms of the free offer there are no recurring monthly charges.
Does 3.0+ offer anything over 3.0?

A lot of gigabit providers require DOCSIS 3.1 to get those speeds. A 3.0 modem CAN do it, but Cox, for instance, is set up to provide gigabit services under the 3.1 standard and requires a 3.1 modem for that tier of service. Also, 3.1 is good for up to 10 gigabit down and 1 gigabit up, so there's plenty of room for increased speeds there, yet it is fully backward compatible with 3.0 standards. The 3.0 standard, however, is starting to hit its practical speed limits, though I think it can theoretically do something like 1.4 gigabit.
Also, there is NO WAY Cox is giving you something for free. You WILL pay for it somewhere. Believe their bullshite at your own risk.
