I took a look a DOCSIS 3.0 modems available on Amazon when I last got a cable subscription. At the time they were really expensive, so I decided to go with renting one from my provider. That was a long time ago, and they are now available for cheap, but people should always consider how they expect costs to go down in the future. In hindsight, going with the company's modem was the right choice.
