Ever had a modem take a shit on you... Just wondering how often does you modem go out and need to be replaced. This is my third modem in 7 years, what's common...

Mine come from the cable company. I'm sure we pay a nice monthly fee instead of being given the option of buying our own.

Same here, probably already paid for the thing 20 times over..

I've leased from the cable company as well. Already replaced it twice so I feel ok about my decision.

Yeah, I guess I could of waited till tomorrow to sit on the phone all day with ATT, while they try and diagnos the dead modem. I think if I have them replace it for a lease it would of been the same price.

Oh well $80 upgrade every 2-3 years ain't to bad. Im just happy to have my internet running again.

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.

I haven't even thought about a modem in years. Which is funny considering they used to be such a big part of my life.

I never had to replace a modem, they always worked fine.

And now I got a LAN-port directly in the wall so I don't use a modem anymore. ;)

I went through 3 in 7 with Charter as well; they just come out and swap it (unless you own it)
