Adelphia Cable Modem Followup

A few days ago (here), I wrote about reducing the cost of your Adelphia cable modem service.

After that post, I received more info from my friend and fellow tech expert Sam over at NightsNWeekends.com. Sam says that the using your own cable modem, and saving the $3/month "rental" charge is fairly easy now. This unit, Motorola SURFboard External Cable Modem works great and doesn't require a call to Adelphia tech support to get it working. He has installed several of the units and is very pleased.

Circuit City's price is $60, after a mail-in rebate. At $3/month rental, the payoff time is 20 months.
