A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

To be fair, DOCSIS 4 uses tk be called something stupid like "DOCSIS 3.1 full duplex" so a lot of areas reporting 3.1 may actually be running 4.
I personally would get a modem with DOCSIS 4 if I had to buy a new one. Replacing WiFi is quite cheap and if access points get flaky there's always ethernet, but I would get the most up to date stuff on the upstream side just in case the ISP decides to upgrade their network.
You shouldn't until your ISP upgrades to DOCSIS 4 and provides a list of compatible modems.
