Comcast says I need a new modem

I recently received a message from Comcast saying that they had upgraded my download speeds to 800Mbps, but in order to get them I needed to upgrade my modem. My modem is DOCSIS 3.1 and listed for download speeds up to 1Gbps. Why do I need to buy another one to get the 800Mbps speed?

If You's is working good enough for you, don't bother to replace it. The message was likely computer generated for those who might need to upgrade.

O/k so the NAS version supports up to 927 Mbps, and the V2 version supports up to 950.

You are good to go with what you have.
