Pretty cheap, makes you wonder how Cablevision can justifying their $300 we actually don't want anyone to sign up activation fee.
Yep because most modems will make many times their cost to the cable company in rental fees. So no "activation" fee is needed.

And the activation fee isn't for activating the modem. You can buy and use the SB6120 without a fee if you just use it on the regular speed tiers. The activation fee is if you go on one of the Docsis 3 speed tiers.

That still doesn't justify it.

Cablevision modems are free rent, there is no line item.
