Here’s something you might not realize: your cable company is stealing money right out of your pocket each month. You already pay anywhere between $30 and $100+ every month for home internet service from them, and then they have the audacity to bury an additional monthly charge of $8-$12 dollars for the cable modem you’re “renting.” And guess what: After you’ve paid hundreds of dollars in rental fees for your modem over the years, you’ll be charged hundreds more if you don’t return it to them when you close your account.

Stop the madness. Buy your very own ARRIS SURFboard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem on Amazon for less than $80, and be rid of these bogus charges once and for all.
