The SB8200 uses a Broadcom chipset to avoid all "Intel Puma 6" chipset issues with latency, jitter, denial-of-service attacks that Intel-based modems have. Check out your search engine of choice for more info.
This modem (and Netgear CM1000) are the only way to get 32 downstream channels without an Intel Puma 6. The SB8200 is also compatible with new DOCSIS 3.1 networks that will be rolling out in coming years.

I have a sb6183 and get 350mbit. This is a cable modem and not a router. Your router may bottleneck like my old one did.
