Your provider will probably rent you one for $5 a month... and they'll always cover it whenever it shits out.

You should be alright as long as it is DOCSIS 2.0 and I would say even a 1.1 would work and you call in the Mac address. ISP's use alot of different brands so might as well try it.

I purchased the modem when I was living in Bedford from their cable supplier(comcast I think?!) When I moved back to Roanoke the installer tried using it but could not get it to work with cox. If you want to wait a couple of months then I can give you this modem. I'm hopefully moving back to botetourt so I will most likely be going with dsl since adelphia is horrible.
