Make sure your cables are CAT 7 or above, and you're modem needs to be able to push those kinds of speeds. I'm a pretty big tech guy and do a lot of downloading, gaming, streaming and 400mbps works great for me. This is my hardware. My Router and My Modem.
That might be in an area with lots of competition and that would be a starting price. Typically gigabit for Charter Spectrum is 125.99/mo for just the internet speed only. You can see what your area is officially charging for each package on the official 'rate card' from the company here.
It also tells you right here that there are zero fees for modems ever, and only wi-fi router fees (or combo units that are both a modem and a wi-fi router, but I am not sure there are any combo units for gigabit.)
The $200 initial fee for gigabit (even if you have been a customer for more than a decade) is typically NOT waived. They place that charge to act as a preventative measure so fewer customers buy it (not kidding, it's because they don't have everything upgraded yet to serve gigabit to every customer.)
If you do not have gigabit (I sincerely doubt you do) then I would either go for the CM600 for an officially approved one up to the 400 meg package or the TC-7650 which is basically the same thing from another company.
I want to stress that there is no modem rental fee from Spectrum. If you DO get them to give you a modem, make sure it is a DOCSIS 3.1 capable one. I THINK most areas are only giving out the ones I mentioned (Hitron/Technicolor/Ubee.) The Ubee one is nice because unlike the other two, you can access the modem signals and stuff to diagnose issues as a customer. It would probably be better to just get one from Spectrum if they are giving out DOCSIS 3.1 modems in your area, because they are superior and will be future-proofed for new upgrades.
