Time Warner Cable Modem Lease Fee Expands → shameless money grab...

...or cost effective way to get legacy D1.1 or D2 modem leasers to upgrade (and possibly be sold on more expensive, higher speed service). [edit: if you're going to pay the lease fee, might as well visit a walk-in center and get a D3 modem if you don't already have one).

Got the postcard Monday, ordered an SB6141 same day. Frontier is my only wireline alternative (even higher modem fee), and since I use a Roku that makes Homefusion not cost effective.

Looks like I'm stuck with TWC for a few more years, might as well plan accordingly.
