Modem question. Which one do I really need?

First off, let me just say that I am not tech savvy at all, so I don’t know what I need at all. I changed my internet plan and apparently I need to update my modem. I’m going to buy my own just so I don’t have to pay extra to use theirs, and I was told that I need the neatgear 1000, 1100 or 1200. My question is, is the 600 or 700 that much different than the 1000? I don’t mind buying the 1000, just wondering what difference is. Thanks in advance!

First, find your provider's compatibility page. If you have Cox, for example, you could check out this website for a list of modems that are compatible.
Any brand of modem on that list would work perfectly fine, not just the Netgear brand. Identifying what speed your plan allows for will help you figure out what you need. For example: The key differences between the 600/700/1000 models are more about the speed the different modems are able to handle from the ISP. The Netgear 600 can handle up to 122 megabits per second downstream from the ISP whereas the Netgear 1000 can handle 1000 megabits per second downstream (i.e. gigabit).
I recently got this modem to replace one with a defective Puma 6 chipset and I've had no complaints at all.
If you really want to look into the differences, check out this guide:

Very informative. Thank you for that! It is cox that I use. Is there something comparable to the netgear cm1000 that is cheaper?

Arris Surfboard is what you need. DOCSIS 3.1 is the current version but DOCSIS 3.0 is good enough for speeds up to, I think 150 mbps. Anything over go with DOCSIS 3.1 regardless of brand.

Get something that is docsis 3.1 regardless of your package.

Last time I looked into cable modems, those were the cutting edge. Bought one, and it works great.

It’s 250.
