You checked with your service provider about modems featuring quicker connections. I understand this isn’t directly useful, but I wanted to see if their intention behind promoting faster speeds might stem from the assumption you won’t get the most out of them.

I'm curious about whether those modems are upgradable. Have you looked into alternatives elsewhere? It seems some companies here offer replaceable modems, while others don't. Edit: If the service also provides TV or phone via that line, it might be limited.

They are likely following a common standard, such as a standard POE system or something similar.

TV does connect through it, actually... but I believe I can work around that using some VLAN tricks. I've seen people succeed by just attaching an SFP+ adapter at the end of the line and plugging it into a switch, though I'm curious how often this has happened before deciding to invest.

Have you considered whether it's feasible to obtain 2Gbit from any connection? True fast connectivity isn't just about reaching the highest speed on one device, but ensuring consistent bandwidth across several devices.

I would consider the ISP's router as several WANs. A PF-Sense device with multiple WANs could assist in this scenario.

This seems like a solid choice for me. I'm still figuring out how to get the highest speeds with both chips.
