Your cable company hates us so much for telling you about this $50 box

If there’s one thing cable companies love more than anything else in the world, it’s charging bogus fees to their subscribers. Seriously, take a look at your cable bill one day and look at all of the ridiculous fees that shouldn’t be there. Since cable companies have spent so much money bribing — sorry, we mean lobbying — government officials, there’s nothing you can do about most of the bogus fees on your bill. There is one fee that can be eliminated though, and it’ll save you up to $120 a year. Just pick up a Netgear CM400-1AZNAS Cable Modem on Amazon and activate it using the simple instructions in the box. Then once you return the modem you got from your cable company, you won’t have to pay the monthly $8-10 modem rental fee anymore!
