Your cable company is so angry at us for telling you about this $59 box that’ll save you hundreds by Maren Estrada

Did you know that your cable company is scamming you out of money every month? Sorry, of course you knew that, so let us rephrase the question: did you know that your cable company is scamming you out of money every month that you don’t actually have to pay? $10 of your monthly bill from your cable ISP is a modem rental fee, and you can eliminate it by simply purchasing your own modem and returning the one you have now to your cable company. Sound good? Check out the Motorola MB7420 16×4 Cable Modem. It supports data speeds up to 686Mbps and it’s certified by Comcast XFINITY, Charter Spectrum, Time Warner Cable, Cox, BrightHouse, and more!
Here’s some important info from the product page:
  • This 16×4 DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem provides speeds up to 686 Mbps, sixteen times faster than DOCSIS 2.0. A Full-Band Capture digital tuner ensures a faster, more reliable Internet.
  • Cable modem’s Ethernet port connects to a computer, HDTV, game station, or wireless router. (This Model MB7420 cable modem does NOT have a built-in wireless router and does NOT have a telephone adapter or phone jack. The Motorola MG7310, MG7315, MG7540 and MG7550 have a built-in wireless router.)
  • Requires cable Internet service. Certified by Comcast XFINITY for residential speeds up to Extreme 300, by Comcast Business for speeds up to Deluxe 250, Time Warner Cable, Cox, Charter Spectrum, BrightHouse, and other leading cable service providers for modem ownership programs that typically save rental charges of $120 or more per year
  • Setup is fast and easy with a few quick steps set out in a Quick Start guide. Experienced USA-based customer support specialists are there to help if you need them.
  • Attractive, compact design minimizes shelf space, improves cooling, and extends product life while looking great in any home or office. A two-year warranty plus rugged lightning and power surge circuits protect your investment.
