That’s still a combo device which I generally would avoid. But basically anything that isn’t provided by the cable company will be better.

They are better than Comcast but that’s a low bar.
Overall I get Gig speeds for $80/m which isn’t terrible and no data cap. My previous house AT&T fiber was the same cost but better. I don’t have a choice where I live now so it’s Spectrum or DSL
I use a Unifi system which is going to be overkill for 99% of people, but as far as Modems only go Arris Surfboards are solid and I’ve never had an issue.
For router you can get whatever is your fancy, mesh system or a big multi antenna whatever.

I think you mean router, since you would most likely not set DNS on a modem (unless it’s a combo) — but yes I would look into getting something better that you have more control over.

I have spectrum and they don’t forcibly route anything for me.
You must have either their modem maybe? Or you have the DNS helper setting where if you mistype a url it redirects you.
Either way there is a way to disable it because it doesn’t happen for me and hasn’t in the many years I’ve had them across the country.
If you thought Robin Williams’s character was supposed to be the villain I fear you have missed the point of the movie greatly.
The villain of the movie is mental illness and interpersonal relationships. They give you a hint right at the beginning when Smoochy is playing at a Methadone clinic.
