Re: [NV] Buy or Lease a Modem (for COX HSI)?
I've got a WebStar that I purchased (I didn't' have a choice of brands) and it's perfectly fine. I've had it for around 8 months. I get good speed, etc. Never had a burp that wasn't cured quickly. I think it cost $25 as part of a promotion.
In the long run owning a modem is cheaper than renting. And you don't have to buy from COX. If you don't buy from them, make sure it's compatible.
No matter which modem you buy, make sure it's on surge protection or even a good UPS so it gets good clean power. You might even consider a surge suppressor for the cable line to protect it, but that's probably overkill.
