Quote from the link
"With 24 download and 8 upload channels, the Arris can get download speeds
of up to a gigabit if your plan offers it. I'm too cheap for that
experience right now, but its nice to have it as a possible option for the
future. Now for the pleasant surprise. With my previous modem/router combo,
I usually got D's and F's on the DSLreports.com speedtest which also
measures bufferbloat. With the Arris, I consitently get A's and only an
occasional B. Why should you care? Bufferbloat is high latency (or lag)
that occurs when there's other traffic on your network. It can adversely
affect streaming performance. Geeks have spent years developing router
firmwares to combat it. I adjusted nothing and tweaked no settings to get
these results. This benefit is not touted in any of the specs, but the test
results speak for themselves. "
