		Yeah, a cable modem is what I want for a reasonable price for the internet service im gonna get from Adelphia... I need one in the next week, if I don't get an offer here in the next two days I'm just gonna buy one off ebay. I'd like it to be CAT5 ethernet and NOT USB thanks guys! [EDIT] Adelphia says these are their preferred modems... Arris 450a Motorola SB5100 Motorola SB5120 Motorola SBV5120 Motorola SB5101 Scientific Atlanta DPC2100 (Hdw. Ver. 2) SMC 8013wg Terayon TJ715X Thomson DCM425

		Don't they give you one when you sign up for the service? Like they do with a cable box when you get pay channels? Or do they have a deal where they'll up your speed a notch if you own your own equipment, like mine used to do (before they changed it all to one speed)?

		nah, they charge 7 bucks a month to lease it... as I am going to have it for a minimum of a year that is 84 dollars put toward a cable modem I'm gonna have to return when I'm done with it. On ebay they sell for like 35 bucks, and maybe you guys might have it around that. Half the price and I get to keep it.
