The internet killed the television. But the Television sure as hell doesn't want to die yet.

That's funny![/QUOTE] With comcast you can chose to use your own modem, and I suggest doing so and turning the old one in: since they're usually crap and cost you monthly for a 'renting' fee. The Motorola SB6141 has always been a highly suggested one, since it's arguably the best you can get on the market still; and if DOCSIS ever adds Gbit speeds, it should be able to support it.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;44337364]I didn't know that, I thought you had to use the ones they gave you.[/QUOTE] They have to be "Certified" modems (Meaning the network supports them), but the list is available online of products that are. You then just call them up, and are stepped through while they give the new modem the connection permissions, then bam you have a new modem that you own. Remember though, they still have a lot of control over the modem, and often when your current modem 'crashes' it's because of their network, not the device.
