On 2 Apr 2024 (23 days ago) we went through 60 Modem expert endorsements , however neither Centurylink ActionTec C1000A nor Technicolor C2100T were included in any of those recommendations. Since neither Modem received a single endorsement, as far as expert recommendations go, it's technically a tie. We do, however, recommend taking a look at Arris Surfboard S33 or other critically acclaimed Modems of this month.
