Buying your own internet equipment is an easy way to make your cable bill shrink. Typically ISPs charges you between $6 and $11 to rent their modem or gateway, but you can find much better options that will cost you a lot less in the long-run, and modems aren’t super expensive either, as pricing typically starts at only $60. There are plenty of options to choose from, but I’ve done the research and narrowed the field down to my top picks from brands that have been in the game for ages. However, you’ll have to double check that a particular modem is compatible with your ISP before you buy any of the modems I’ve listed below.
