My purpose in looking at the BEFCMU10 (or equiv) is to eliminate that "small monthly fee". In Peter's picture, that cable modem is the Motorola SurfBoard. I believe that the BEFCMU10 replaces that in my proposed layout. Other than that, I'm with you.... jb4 shrub\ufffdbish (Am., from shrub* + rubbish, after the derisive name for America's 43 president; 2003) n. 1. a form of nonsensical political doubletalk wherein the speaker attempts to defend the indefensible by lying, obfuscation, or otherwise misstating the facts; GIBBERISH. 2. any of a collection of utterances from America's putative 43rd president. cf.* BULLSHIT

Apparently it's new, and I don't think they're charging rent for the modems around here, at least not separately itemized so there would be no savings. I'll ask a couple of subscribers.

I purchased my modem to eliminate the monthly charge. Comcast charges for everything. Even the remote control for the TV cable box. A good friend will come and bail you out of jail ... but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!"
