If you rent a Cable Box for 5 years at $5 a month, you should be able to buy one, with better functions, for less than $3000.00 you would have paid in rental.
Time Warner (Road Runner) doesn't give you the option, you have to use their modem, and it’s included in the cost of the service. It would be naïve to think that you’re not paying for it.
