Its all down to the local network I'd guess. Only the VMNG300 and Superhub are DOCSIS3 devices, so they tend to be able to manage unfavourable conditions better thanks to multiple downstreams.

A DOCSIS 1/2 modem in a good area might be able to use its single channel to get 30 meg (theoretical max is 38). But on an even slightly congested network that will be unlikely to happen. A D3 modem on the other hand only needs 7.5meg from each channel to achieve 30meg, 3.75meg if you have 8 channels.
