In mid-split areas you will be downgraded to 100mbit upload if you move to
your modem right now. Plus, they make modem rental + unlimited data the
same price as unlimited data... they are fully milking every bit of cash
they can get from a customer. They are basically rolling out higher
speeds/uploads to a controlled number of modems for the time being. It'll
probably be a year or two before you can bring your own on those plans,
it's the same thing they did when they first offered gigabit over docsis
3.1.
