Cable modems
I have an old Frontier cable modem (landline). I know I'm not going to get faster speed with a newer model, but this thing is megabyte and bottlenecks my LAN. Is there a modem router I can get with gigabyte ports and can still do landline ISP? Frontier is absolutely no help on technology that's decades old.

In this context, that phase normally refers to a cable-TV-type modem.
Hence the confusion.> I have an old Frontier cable modem (landline). [...]
Do you mean DSL? (Wrong forum.) Has your (unspecified) "an old
Frontier cable modem (landline)" a maker and model number?> [...] Is there a modem router I can get with gigabyte ports and can
> still do landline ISP? [...]Sure, although perhaps not from Netgear. Also, you might want to
consider a separate modem and router. And those are gigabit ports, not
gigabyte ports.https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/bd-p/home-dsl-modems-routers
