For all intents and purposes, its better in the long run to rent your modem, at least from my experience. Friend of mine bought his own, while i rent mine, I get beaucoup support from the cable company if i have any issues with my connection, if you buy your own they always blame everything on your private modem (That was his issue, he ended up selling the modem and renting one). Thats generally the way it is with most cable companies, unless comcast isn't the antichrist like Adelphia is here.

I work for one of the big cable ISPs in engineering. If you want to buy your own modem, get a new Motorola Surfboard. They are the best out there.

This is one of the most recommended modems out there. My old 3COM "Shark Fin" has worked well for over 4.5 years. I paid $100 for it. |

D-Link Cable Modem
I just bought this one and it has a rebate on it too. Gave my rented modem back to the money grubbing cable company. It works great so far, probably even better than the one I had previously from Comcast. |

I bought a Motorola Surfboard about five years ago. Still going strong. Most cable companies only require you to use a DOCSIS compliant cable modem. Almost all of them are nowadays.

I've used a Cisco Systems Linksys Model BEFCMU10 for years without any problems. Around $60. I also use their VoIP router for my Vonage telephone service. The 2 are stackable.

That is what I bought. The cable companies modem went on the fritz, and I kept getting dropped. I hassled with the cable company for about a month then gave up and bought my own. I got my monies worth out of it, and it works better than the one they provided. |
