karlunity Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Fellas. Is there any advantage to buying your own cable modem? The one I have from the cable company works but ... I feel like getting my own. Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimro Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Buying the cable modem makes sense if you aren't planning on moving. Some cable modems have more user settable features than others, some have better thermal management than others. If you just want internet access and don't need to set a lot of ports or whatnot, renting is probably the better option. Jimro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
