Just installed a new modem because the old one was failing, but now you're experiencing drops down to 20 Mbps which is really annoying. You're looking for something beyond what your ISP recommended. A $160 modem offering 10 gigabit speeds would be ideal for your 150 Mbps plan. I appreciate ISPs making custom recommendations.

I don’t have a 10 gigabit plan—just about 150 Mbps. What they recommended was basically useless. ISPs aren’t known for being transparent with customers. For example, when you rent a modem, they push you toward the cheapest option and then charge you a lot more than necessary for a year’s service.
