Just got that lovely modem fee postcard from TWC, going to pick up a cheap used modem off of Amazon.

Get you a Motorola SB 6141, good modems. If you have phone service with TWC, I might call Motorola and ask them to see which phone modem might work with TWC. They have some voice modems, just not sure which ones would work. Let us know what you get.

I can continue to use their modem for just VoIP and not be charged the fee, so no worries about having to get a modem that does VoIP.

It looks nice but since I plan to cancel my Internet service with TWC after I graduate next year and go back to using my neighbor's wireless (using my Raspberry Pi as a router) as they keep on increasing my bill. It's not worth it to me to spend around $100+ on a modem. I'm probably going to pick up the SB5101U.

Well after talking with TWC for a couple of days they just called back tonight and said that they would lower my bill by $9.00 (will still tack on the 3.95.) Don't know how extensive their note records are, I'm tempted to buy that modem to get the full $9.00 net savings.
