I bought my own cable modem for like $100 on Ebay 4 years ago. Key point is that it had to be DOXport 111 compatible back then. (and I was paying like $5/month for the modem rental so that made it worth buying one)

I'm with you Madd, for $1/month it ain't worth it.

I've got 5Mbp down, 256k up right now. Like MA, they offter a better service (10 Mb down, 1Mb up) but it's like $59/month (compared to $40/month for what I have) (Mediacom) though it does come with it's own wireless modem. Since I already have a wireless router that's no advantage to me either.
