Surfboard modem are good. Get the 4100 model. Or Toshiba sells good modmes. I think they are up to the pcx 1100 now or something.

Yep, buying your modem is the way to go. You can pay it off in 10-15 months depending on your rental fee. I used to rent a Surfboard 3100, but turned around and bought the Toshiba 1100u. There's really only about three companies to choose your modem from: Bestdata, Toshiba, and Motorola. USR stopped making their modem.

You get a USB port along with a ether port on the Toshiba, but you can find the model without the USB port too. The Bestdata and Motorola have 'standby' switches, so you can shut down your connection without having to turn off the cable modem.
