    Unless you live in an area with extremely high speed internet. This will work fine. It's cheap enough that you don't need to rent one from your ISP.

    At today's download/upload speeds you're going to have to get a DOCSIS 3.0 modem sooner rather than later, anyway. This one is among the best out there.

    Need a better option than rent my device from my ISP. I was told that it might not work for Optimum, they were wrong. Still do your research to make sure it works for you.

    Suddenlink in Louisiana couldn't recognize this modem on their network. So I returned it but would still recommend for more advanced service networks.
