Is there anything better than the Asus surfboard modem?

to keep my cheaper 30meg upload plan (though i just get 300 down but upload is more important), i had to get a 3.1 modem in 2021. i got this one ARRIS (SB8200) - Cable Modem - Fast DOCSIS 3.1

The power is going out sadly and today was completely out until i fiddled with it for 2 mins. Sadly, it is probably time for a new one. I don't want to go a week without internet waiting for a new modem. I was wondering if there is anything better than the one I listed. It seems like a waste just to get the 2021 model- the one i got a few years ago, but it's still ranked the best.__+

    I am using a Netgear CM2000 and I am very pleased with it. it and the router, (RAXE300), replaced my Arris DG2460, which ran perfectly for MANY years. I have held on to it, because in an emergency, I may need to swap it back in. 

    Throughputs on the CM2000 is really nice, I am on the 500 down and 50 up plan.
