Later DOCSIS version provide better upstream throughput; so a 3.0 should
easily beat a 2.0.  3.0 adds channel bonding, which is how it
accomplished much of the increase.  Their cable network will certainly
adapt to the DOCSIS level of your modem.

Note that DOCSIS 3 also adds IPv6 so your devices 'may suddenly' start
getting IPv6 addresses [via RA]. That is something to watch out for.
