Is there a real advantage to having the Cisco modem?

I'm running a Hitron, and it's bridged, so I'm not using any of it's functionality aside from it being just a modem.

Haven't had any real speed issues...NHL GameCentre likes to buffer and scale down the quality sometimes (noticed it more than with Telus 25), but that could be my wifi or the Chromecast as well.

Sometimes speed tests will start off slow and then jump to 175-180, but I've never had issues with getting to 150+ speeds.
