Intel Atom-based Puma 6 Modem Chipset has Severe Latency Issues, Many Cable Modems Affected

This was a known issue for awhile IF you were paying attention to it. The solution is to find out which modems are compatible with your ISP. They usually have a certified list on their sites. If your renting it, return it for a Broadcom or Puma 5 chip based modem. If you bought your own and its a Puma 6 then buy a Broadcom or Puma 5 based modem from the compatibility list.

Make sure your replacement handles your speed tier.

 

Intel Atom-based Puma 6 Modem Chipset has Severe Latency Issues, Many Cable Modems Affected

Actually, there is an ARM CPU in the Puma 6 architecture. There is both an ARM and Intel CPU. The ARM CPU is what is active for all modems. The Intel CPU appears to only be active on the gateway (combo modem/router) models. That said, the Puma 6 IP is entirely Intel's, and thus their responsibility to fix.

Which makes it even dumber. There was never a reason to use x86. Intel must have gave them away, literally.
