asked on

cable modem - pros and cons of renting vs owning.

1)from your experience, what do you see as potential pros/cons of owning vs renting the modem from the cable provider?
2)if renting, do you try to ask for specific modem (based on research) or does it not really matter which modem is availed to you?

Ah.. thanks for the input.. seems like many are on Comcast.. this is also comcast.. (northeast)

they have given TC8305C. how would I know if it is refurbished? apart from refurbished, would you see this modem as lower end or not necessarily. ( I assume you can't ask them what modem you want or prefer?)

if you want to buy your own, does it make a difference in quality of connection (durability/reliability) of connection, if you get a better than average or more costly (Good) device?
