By choosing your own NETGEAR CM3000 Modem and pairing it with a reliable router, you avoid that monthly fee and gain better control over your home network\u2019s performance. It\u2019s an easy way to improve your internet experience and save roughly $60 each year compared to using Spectrum\u2019s standard setup.<br \/>\n<strong>TIP:<\/strong> Check with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to confirm on your bill what your current equipment fees are.<\/p>\n<h3>Unlocking the True Speeds you May Already Paying For<\/h3>\n<p>ISP-provided gateways are usually designed to meet basic needs, rather than deliver top-level performance. Whether you\u2019re on Spectrum\u2019s 300 Mbps, 500 Mbps, or 1 Gbps plans, having a modem that matches your plan\u2019s capabilities is essential. Because Spectrum runs on a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network, upgrading to a recent NETGEAR modem with DOCSIS 3.1 and mid\/high-split technology <i>(available in select areas)<\/i> allows you to get the fastest download and upload speeds available\u2014important for activities like video conferencing, gaming, and large file uploads. <i>Note: Actual speeds depend on your Spectrum plan and local network upgrade.<\/i><\/p>\n<h3>Help Prep Your Home for Tomorrow&#8217;s Internet<\/h3>\n<p>Spectrum\u2019s no-contract plans and ongoing network upgrades (where available) mean your service can keep improving over time. By choosing a modem like the CM3000, you set your home up with technology designed to handle future speed increases and changing requirements, so you&#8217;re ready as Spectrum continues to advance its network to support newer technologies.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n        <div id=\"topic2\" class=\"skip-item\">\n                        <h2>The Nighthawk CM3000: The Best NETGEAR Modem for Spectrum's Fastest Plans<\/h2>\n                <p>Built for reliable, high-speed service, the CM3000 mid\/high-split DOCSIS\u00ae 3.1 cable modem supports up to 2.5Gbps download speeds and up to 1Gbps upload speeds, making it a strong Spectrum compatible modem for demanding internet use.
