<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Depending on how much you want to
spend, look at the 8 channel down x 4 channel up DOCSIS 3.0
modems. The Zoom 5431J is one modem that is well reviewed across
the web. The Motorolas seem to get good reviews or flakey reviews
varying by local cable network.<br>

<div>I'm probably switching from CenturyLink to Comcast [yes,
both are loser monopoly companies] since CL top speed to my

<div>I prefer to buy a good modem/router (and wonder about the
"lucky dip" they'll send). Plus, at $8 rental, a purchase
pays for itself in 8-16 months (depends on price of course).</div>

<div>I plan to switch the landline as well. Does the cable
modem then need a phone connector/jack as well or what is
the connection? (I've only ever used DSL)</div>

<div>I've been looking at [0] and [1]. I'm a Netgear fan so the
N450 and N600 stand out to me. But I did not see any of them
mention phone capability.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don't need wireless on it (have another unit that
provides that) but fine if it does. My current DSL router has
it but I turned it off.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I'm wondering if anyone has cable modem purchase
recommendations for me? Or is the recommendation to rent
theirs?<br>
