Re: Where to purchase?
That's why you usually get warranties with the products you purchase.
Why would I want to buy one? First, then I am eligible for a discount on cable service from Time Warner which I would otherwise be paying for a monthly rental. Secondly, I get to choose the modem I want, not the modem they want to give me. But that's only my preference, renting might be a better option for you! |

I live in New York, and I haven't ever had anything damaged by lightning. And even it it does, I might just "forget" to mention the fact when I call for warranty. |

You can't change any settings on the modem so why does it matter which modem you have?? You want one that looks cooler?? |

| One that looks cool is a plus, but not what I look at first. Main thing is it should work! For example, for DSL I was unable to make the Efficient Speedstream to ever work, but Westell WireSpeed worked right out of the box. I also want a modem that will be able to connect to an ethernet hub, or better yet work on my Linksys router. |
