I do not own the modem. It belongs to my ISP. The appointment is

Good luck. (That isn't being sarcastic) I mean, I hope you get it
resolved.

I had a problem a couple months back. Supposedly everything was O.K. The
tech came out and by the time he was finished he ran a whole new run from
the street, underground. along the wall, a new amplified splitter.
I didn't pay a dime.


Most people own their modem.
The best today (note today) is the Motorola 5100 series.
An older Modem (older model) will often cause problems.
Renting a modem means that you get the one that they got the best "deal"
on.
It may or may not be the best.
