Are you paying $100 per month for a cable modem, or is the cable bill that and includes the modem? I bought the 2nd best motorola cable modem at walmart for less than 100. The best costs about 150-200. These modems bond cable channels and are fast, but you may oveload even them.!! What is the model of you current modem?
