So currently we have Comcast for phone, internet, and cable, but we want to purchase a modem so we can stop renting it from Comcast ($10 dollar charge every month). The one we are currently renting is an Arris DOCSIS 3.0 Residential Gateway . However, I want to purchase something like an Arris / Motorola Surfboard as a replacement. The problem is that the modem we are renting from Comcast has a phone jack for our home phone service and finding a modem with a phone jack isn't as easy as it seems. Is there any way around this? Or are there any other modems that will work?
Also any router recommendations? Currently have a Linksys E2500 , not sure If I should upgrade or not.
