Last time I bought a modem was actually in dial up days.
Every provider has given them to me. With my cable company the modem has a tiny monthly fee, then I also pay like 4.99 a month for wirepro insurance. Typically I would pass on such offers, however since I am a damn gimp it is hard to fix it myself at times. So this means ALL service calls are free, even if it turns out to be a user issue. I also get to deal with a specialized support department 24/7 and they are not the typical outsourced Indians who ask you stupid ass shit 200 times. I get easy to understand, American techs who will jump start at the level of help you tell them you need. Personally that alone is worth the 5 bucks.
Modems, dog chewed wires, new usb wireless cards, etc. All free and covered.
