If you have the TWC rented modem, there is no charge for the swap. There are modems that will do the fastest 300 speed like the Arris/Motorola Surfboard 6183. I have this one in my home and would suggest anyone who rents a modem to buy their own and save yourselves the modem rental fee and wifi charge if it applies to you. That's up to 15.00 off your bill each month.
