My cable modem lasted about 7 years before it got passed by the march of technology. Thing would sort of work at the end but the standards had passed it by. Not bad for $40 at MicroCenter.

Heck, I don't even mind getting a SurfBoard modem (what Comcast left me, so they ought to support it) from somewhere. They're only $40 or so on Ebay. That's only 13 months rent. What I guess I can use in the mean time is a router so I can put my network back together.
