Today only, you can save up to 50% off ARRIS Surfboard cable modems on Amazon. It’s the online retailer’s Deal of the Day, and while buying a cable modem on sale isn’t the most thrilling thing in the world, it’s something you should absolutely consider.
That’s because your internet service provider is probably taking advantage of you (shocking, I know.) By default, most cable providers charge a monthly fee of around $9 to lend you a not-very-expensive piece of equipment each month until you die. But if you buy your own cable modem, you can stop paying that fee right now and watch gleefully as your cable bill drops. The modem pays for itself in just a few months, and then you’re just saving money going forward. What’s not to love? Just hurry, because the deal ends at midnight.
