What is your speed package? Anything over 50 I'd definitely recommend a 3.0 modem, or even over 30 really. So yes.
I recommend the Motorola Surfboard 6121.

Motorola Surfboard 6121. Don't rent, you'll have that thing for years and years and it's $65 on Amazon.

Probably not the solution you're looking for just for gaming use, though.

for 100Mbps, I would recommend an 8x4, like the 6141.

Correct. Screw it, for now I think I'll just grab that $10 Zalman clip on mic until I find something else I like.

Either one, the 6121 is good for up to 172Mbps while the 41 is up over 300. For his use either would be fine, a matter of $65 vs $90. I personally have the 6141 as well.

The issue is the bandwidth per channel. In a neighborhood full of other cable subscribers your bandwidth will never fully saturate a single channel, especially during peak usage. Docsis 2.0 uses a single channel, up to 43mbps, and Cox pushes distributed bandwidth through 8 channels, so if he's paying for 100 and getting 18 down on a docsis 2.0 modem, there are enough people on the node to bottleneck the bandwidth per channel. Otherwise, he'd be getting closer to 40-ish. 4 downstream channels would net him 72 mbps under those same conditions. 8 downstream channels would get him the full 100.

Oh for sure, but that's also why I said for his use, where the 70-80Mbps he'd pull would be more than enough (especially if he's going to downgrade his plan like he said, then it's a no brainer).

A sign I'm getting old -- I'm starting to question my parents' financial decisions.
My mom has apparently been working/helping out my sister-in-law for a few months with a multi-level marketing/pyramid scheme involving essential oils. I did the research on it and of course it's all your run-of-the-mill MLM scam. Buy starter kits and host classes to sell and recruit. The general BS of pyramid schemes aside, I especially hate that this one, like many others, focuses on alternative medicine. It's one thing to say essential oils smell good and can be used in skin products and whatnot, but their catalog as oils and oil "blends" for ADD, cancer, strep throat, high blood pressure, and other ailments that require real medicine.
She invited my wife to a "class" she was hosting (aka, a gathering of her equally gullible friends to recruit). I told my mom ahead of time that my wife will go to fill a seat, but she is not signing up for that shite, because 99% of an MLM company's income is from its own "sales team" via starter kits and inventory. My wife already tried and failed at Mary Kay several years ago because there's simply not enough hours in the day for someone with a real career to attempt to make money from this (It was a relatively inexpensive endeavor, so I warned her ahead of time and just let it run its course so she'd learn her lesson, and she did). The essential oils company doesn't even distill its own oils. It rebottles the same oil you can buy at apothecary supply stores and Amazon, mixes some together to call it "Cancer therapy" or some shite, and sells it in tiny vials for triple the price.
Well, the class was today, and it turns out my mom interpreted my "no, my wife is not selling this shite" as "No, we don't want to pay for the start-up kit," so my mom signed her up and paid for the supplies before she even got to the class.
I probably need to have a private conversation with my dad about this, just to confirm that he's aware of it and is throttling the outflow of money appropriately. He manages money better than anyone I've ever met, but he's got so many things going on that he may not be aware that X amount of money leaving his account is being used to fund absolute horseshite.
I just don't understand why so many people still fall for this nowadays. When my sister-in-law was describing the business model (essentially describing a textbook pyramid scheme), she said "It's like a triangle." A triangle.
End of rant...But also, why is it that anyone who's trying to get into a pyramid scheme always claims to know someone who's making an ungodly amount of money from it? I get that those people probably do exist, because the... triangle, has a top, which is the best place to be. But I suspect the triangle is not as tall as it is wide.

Does it happen to be Doterra? If not it's the same shite. "Essential oils". I just got done designing a vehicle wrap for a lady that got into this. She's spending around 3 grand for this on her own personal vehicle all because her husband is a "pro bull rider" and claims this shite eases all his pain. I had a good laugh looking through the PDF she left me reading about the miracles this shite does. There has to be well over 200 products in it, each serving an extremely specific purpose, and each costing a ridiculous amount of money. I feel bad for the folks that fall for that shite.
