Talk about a win-win scenario!

If there’s one thing the BGR Deals Team is dedicated to, it’s saving you money. We typically do this by pointing out great limited-time deals, but that’s just giving you a fish. Today, we’re going to teach you to fish, and show you how one single purchase of a tiny $87 device can save you hundreds of dollars or even more.

Meet the ARRIS SURFboard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem. You probably see a device just like this sitting on a shelf in your house all the time. There’s a huge difference between the cable modem you have and the SB6141, however: Your cable modem is forcing you to burn through $8-$12 a month on bogus modem rental fees, while ARRIS’s SB6141 is a one-time purchase that can completely eliminate those fees.

That’s right, your cable company can’t force you to use their modem and burn through all that cash each year — $100 or more — just for the privilege of spending $40, $50 or even more each month for Internet service. All you have to do is buy this ARRIS box for $87.49 shipped, call your cable company to activate it, and return the cable company-owned modem you’re replacing.

Check out our earlier post for more information.

The SB6141 is compatible with services from just about every top cable ISP in the country, including Comcast/Xfinity, Cox, Charter, Time Warner, Mediacom and Bright House, and it supports speeds up to 343MB/s.
