Linksys Cable Modem
Anyone ever use one of these? I am thinking of buying it cause I am tired of paying the leasing fee. Can anyone reccomend or not reccomend it? Their routers seem to be highly regarded.

I just read an article on Slashdot about a new technology for cable modems thats going to pump more data through the existing lines. I'll bet you 5 bucks you'll need a new modem for it.
Unlike routers which often include a firewall or DHCP server, cable modems don't do much other than connect a computer to the internet. That is, cable modems are becoming commodities. I would just get the cheapest one that works. I bought my cable modem from Circuit City for $200, but I also got a $200 rebate for subscribing to Comcast@home. Plus, I also got 3 months service for free. It was a really sweet deal.

Eatontown huh? I used to live in Long Branch. I had Comcast@home down there. While I had more outages than my current Earthlink DSL connection, I still miss Comcast. It was faster and when I DID have downtime, it didn't last long. I've gone up to 2 weeks without DSL
Anyway, I miss Eatontown too. Thats a nice area down there. Especially Red Bank which happens to have my favorite Vegan restaurant.
Whoa...way off topic...sorry!!
..And that's in Canadian (read: worthless) dollars!!! :eek: <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />
