Can somebody recommend me a good modem that you can connect your home phone to? I am tired of paying this comcast rental fee.
Apparently they only provision non-mta modems.
Meaning if you have phone you must have on of theirs.
Thinkin bout tradin in this old router for the new joint.
fukk Comcast btw, but we dont have much here in Decatur, Illinois![]()

I been tryin to tell these fools. I bought a motorola SB5100 back in 2003 for like $50 new. I still got that joint to this day.
if I rented, it'd be $5 a month for 10 years. that's $600 in renting over the $50 one time cost.

Buy your own modem/router and stop paying Comcast a renters fee for it
