Modems
What is the difference between 8x4 and 16x4. I currently have the DPQ3212 which is 8x4.

It appears you didn't like my reply...perhaps too oversimplified.
8 × 4 would be suitable for 150 Mbps
16 × 4 for 300 Mbps
32 × 8 for 1 Gbps
These aren't written in stone but an idea of modem to data plan.
thank you! That really helps. looks like I should take the suggested upgrade.
What data plan do you have and...more importantly...what exactly is Cox suggesting? Better yet...are you having a problem?
You have to be cautious with "suggestions" nowadays because some reps can help but most just sell, sell, sell.

Your DPQ3212 is also a telephone modem (eMTA).
