So, I'm getting comcast 4mbps down, 256 mbps up cable internet service starting next Tuesday, and I have 3 options when it comes to the cable modem: rent one from them for $4 a month, buy theirs for $20, or supply my own. So, if nothing else, I'll buy theirs for $20 as it'll pay for itself in 5 months. However, I was wondering if there was any advantage to purchasing my own. Specifically, I was looking at this to replace the current 1st gen linksys 802.11b wireless ap/router/switch that I have right now; I'm thinking that it'll have a longer range and operate a little faster. Any suggestions or thoughts?
