Side note: If there's one tech support job for friends and family I don't mind doing it's helping them replace the slow modem their ISP is "renting" them.

I was paying $60 per year for a DOCSIS 2 modem. Replaced it with a DOCSIS 3 for $90. Huge speed boost for almost free.



I've been begging my wife for years to let me upgrade the crap modem that the ISP is loaning us. She's terrified that if I touch anything, it's all going to break, and since she works out of the house, she won't be able to get online. Sigh...


And based on the last 3 providers I've had, you were getting a steal at $60/yr
