In the process of signing up for cable at my new place, I noticed Charter charges $5/month to rent a cable modem. Knowing Charter, I figure that fee is probably taxed in some way as well. I went on Newegg and they sell Motorola cable modems for 40 bucks shipped. Yay for not giving crappy Charter any more money than I have to!

On the other hand, maybe since they're in Chapter 11 bankruptcy at the moment, I should've just paid the extra 5 bucks a month to help keep them afloat... :thinking:
