I have to buy a modem again. Of course best buy stocks modems that start at $70 for a modem/router and go up to $100 for one that you would actually want. Adding insult to injury is that neither is significantly different that the last one we looked at buying two+ years ago. Same speeds. Same modem. Same price. Hence my frustration.

Same boat here... I'm stalking amazon and ebay though.. Everyone knows that these cable providers keep upping their prices and fees on the usage of their equipment.. Not good for us consumers. And to top it off because i have a phone line threw them that that comes from the modem I will still have the stupid thing even after I buy my own but at least they stop charging the fee's at that point. Just stupid.

Yeah Amazon is half the price for a better modem. this is why you're going out of business best buy. It's not because your stuff is 10% more expensive than Amazon. It's because you carry the worst products and charge double what they're worth. Well, that and a whole host of other reasons.
