I’m eyeing the Hitron CODA56 since my ISP says it’s compatible with my plan, but I only have 500 Mbps. Is this overkill?
Probably. I got the CODA56 because I’m on a 1.2 Gbps plan, and it’s rock-solid—speeds are great, no random disconnects. But if you’re on 500 Mbps, you’re not even using half its potential.
What’s the point of 2.5 Gbps, though? Is anyone actually getting speeds that fast?
It’s not just about current speeds, you know. ISPs are pushing multi-gig plans and this modem’s ready for them. I got it because my area’s rolling out 2 Gbps next year. If you upgrade soon, it saves you from buying a new modem later.
That’s cool, but how much does the rest of your setup matter? My router’s a cheap one from Amazon.
Yeah, your router’s just as important. If it doesn’t have a 2.5 Gbps port, this modem can’t do much for you. Your internal network might cap out at 1 Gbps or less.
