Sorry to hear you've had such a bad experience.
I've used the CM1000, CM2000 modems without issue. I've also had the RAX200 without a problem.
Plus many others that I've used/tested.
Not saying you didn't have issues but it makes me curious whats going on if you're having such problems across multiple devices.

I've used the CM1100, CM1200 and CM2000. All good stable and rock solid modems. However stability can be effect by ISP signals and cabling up to the modem. Modems have signal specs to be able to work well. Many modem issues come from bad ISP signals, cabling or bad connections or coax line splitters. These would need to be checked first before claiming modem failure or fault.
How modems and routers are configured and setup are important to ensure having good operation for gaming. Wired connections is always recommended for online gaming. Wireless can work however should be configured well and setup well.
It's not always a modem or router fault.
