    something business grade. 

    the fastest consumer modems are currently 2gig. And they get that by using port aggregation to combine 2x 1gig ethernet ports.

    the CM1100 or CM1200 allow this. And neither has voice port. 

    the to be released CAX80 has a 2.5gig port on it for almost getting there but I'm not sure what max speed ISP's certify it for. 

    Not sure what you're doing that needs 3gig connection.

    Check with your ISP provider. Most ISPs don't support any 3gig services for home users currently. Most max out at 1Gb. 

    For business, some ISP have requirements that you need to check into first.
