DOCSIS 3.1 is a CableLabs® standard for high-speed Internet
access that defines support for up to 10 Gbps downstream and 1 Gbps
upstream. Actual cable operator network speeds will vary, and will
be less than the calculated maximum possible speeds. Actual
upload and download speeds are affected by several factors
including, but not limited to: the capacity of your cable
operator's network, the services offered by your cable operator,
cable and Internet network traffic, your computer equipment, type
and capacity of your Internet servers, number of connections to
your Internet servers, and availability of Internet router(s).
DOCSIS 3.0 or DOCSIS 3.1 cable Internet service required. Internet
capable gaming console required for gaming experience.
While this modem supports the DOCSIS 3.1 specifications and
is backward-compatible to DOCSIS 3.0, it does not support the
maximum possible DOCSIS 3.1 speeds. The SB8200 has two 1
Gigabit Ethernet ports, each supporting up to 1 Gbps transfer rate
per port (2 Gbps total) to your home network, thereby limiting the
throughput from the cable operator network. Your total
throughput from your cable operator using this modem will not
exceed 2 Gbps.
