How to Choose Modem

I'm planning on getting a TP-Link AC1750 router and flashing it to LEDE to do traffic shaping as suggested in this thread. However, the router my ISP (Sky) provided is rubbish / locked down and doesn't support bridge mode, so I'll need to buy a new modem.

I've been struggling to find information on modems, so I'm unsure how to choose one that is good and works with my connection.

Does anyone have any advice / recommendations? Speed is about 15 Mb/s down, 0.6 Mb/s up (shared between five people :/) and ISP is Sky.

I'd try putting your TP-Link in the DMZ of your current modem first. You'll get double-NAT this way, but this might be acceptable.
0.6Mbit up between 5 people might still suck though.
