I gotta get my 2 cents in here:Azn Tr14dZ said:Our company is like "rent to own", we can rent it, and if it reaches the price of the modem it's ours. My new one is Motorola SurfBoard, so I'm all good.
I have had both a purchased cable modem and a Comcast & Charter cable modems. I had a bunch of problems with the ones Comcast uses (can't remember the brand), but never had any issues with the one I bought, or the ones that Charter uses. I paid ~$65 for the one I bought. With Charter I pay $3 a month, so I figure that in ~2 years when I've spent $65 on rent, there will be a new one available and I'll just have them come switch it out, instead of having to buy a new one for $65 again. Also, they will replace/service the ones I rent, but not if I buy one. It's all about the same in the end, but I prefer not to end up with outdated, broken and non-supported cable modems. It's just easier and less of a headache if something goes wrong.
That's just me!
