Modems

What is the difference between 8x4 and 16x4. I currently have the DPQ3212 which is 8x4.

Your DPQ3212 is also a telephone modem (eMTA).

It appears you didn't like my reply...perhaps too oversimplified.

8 × 4 would be suitable for 150 Mbps
16 × 4 for 300 Mbps
32 × 8 for 1 Gbps

These aren't written in stone but an idea of modem to data plan.

What data plan do you have and...more importantly...what exactly is Cox suggesting?  Better yet...are you having a problem?

You have to be cautious with "suggestions" nowadays because some reps can help but most just sell, sell, sell.

I agree if the suggested upgrade will be a DOCSIS-eMTA because it'll still be a free loan.  However, if Cox suggested upgrading to a DOCSIS-eMTA-Panoramic rental, I'd be leery of their "suggestion."
