for those that have a sb8200, i would say wait for docsis 3.2/4 unless you have to have higher than a 1 gig connection.

I have the modem routed to pfsense and I am able to pull down 900mb-ish, and 450mb over wifi using TP-link omeda. Super happy with this setup, it never experienced interruptions.
I know not for my current speed, but I've been waiting to get any 3.1 modem and upgrade the speed I can get, but you know...covid and limited funds.
I have an older SB model that is working well. I don't really like the look of the round device and think it might get warm in the area I keep the modems (a mostly enclosed cabinet unit with just a USB fan moving air most of the time). I have been able to avoid heat issues with current modem and routers, but some routers have been hotter than others.
So just wondered if really worth it for the S33 or for $20 less to get the SB8200.
Thanks OP for posting! Thanks for any feedback others can offer.
The 8200 has a spectrum analyzer function that the S33 doesn't have but the thing is so damn stable it doesn't need it really.

That said, this modem does offer some future proofing, and 2.5/5/10GigE hardware is definitely becoming cheaper and more mainstream every day:
MikroTik now has a 4-port 10GbE switch for under $150, and a 10GbE router for under $200.
QNAP has a 2.5GbE switch for under $120
TP-Link has an all-in-one wireless router for under $200, with a 2.5GbE port that can be configured for either LAN or WAN.
I picked up a L2 managed 52-port switch with 4x 10GbE uplink ports for less than $300, and that was probably 5+ years ago.
