I bought my own modem when I first signed up for their internet service five years ago. I have the motorolla surfboard and it has been a very stable and reliable modem.
I'm glad to know that I contributed to their bankruptcy. After as much as they have (over)charged me for service for the last ten years, I hope they get their act together. I've heard from several of their technicians about how the organization is run and can see how they are in the state they are in.
