Charter Internet - Replacing The Rented Cable Modem

[trentlad]

So I've been with Charter a while now and been paying $5 p/m for "rental" of their cable modem. It's a Motorola Surfboard and so far I've wasted 3 years: 12 x 3 = 36 months, 36 months: 5 x 36 = $180.

Yes I've left it 'that' long to get a replacement cable modem. Any replacement suggestions?

I know some cable modems aren't compatible with particular ISPs so help from other Charter members are most welcome but feel free to offer advice if you have any regardless.

Thanks!

This is the deals forum, probably should have posted this in general hardware. Any Motorola surfboard will serve you well. Sell for about 60$ in any of the popular e-tailers.

Hi, I am a Charter customer in Southern California. I replaced the Charter cable modem with the D-Link DCM 202 that I bought from Newegg more than a year ago. Knock on wood, I have not encountered any problem. You just have to call Charter and register the modem with your account.

Here is the link for the modem at Newegg.

Sorry folks. Just before posting I'd opened two windows and accidentally opened the thread in the wrong section. This thread has been moved:
