Normally the ISP will push a newer firmware only if needed.

If you own your modem you could do it yourself, but stand a chance of turning the modem into an expensive paperweight. There is always a small gamble when flashing any bios like a MB or Video card, etc.. Changing the firmware on your modem may also result in unexpected problems if the firmware hasn't been tested and approved by your ISP.

Folks that rent the modem from the ISP shouldn't do it.
