> Amazon, it was like $120. There is a list on TWC’s site about what modems are approved, so check that if there’s a cheaper alternative you may want. I know the SB6121 is $80 and is approved as well, but the SB6141 I got replaced that, so I dunno. They also have wireless modems as well so you could get rid of your router too if you wanted.

Dang, $120? after 30 months of owning, it’ll pay for itself. Alot of ppl dont understand that when you get your own modem, we will not give you tech support from then on. We will only make sure the signal is being sent, beyond that you’ll have to contact the maker of the modem. I think the “tech support” is worth the $3.95, but :dunno.

I support whatever you guys all choose to do, but just make sure you can fix your own equip from there on out. or have a good warranty.
