Modem suggestions

[KirbyTech]

I am looking to install my own modem, I am in Canada. What modem should I buy? I am hoping cheap as possible that can handle a gigabit connection.

Who is your ISP?

um... I'm sorry are you from the past?

no, but a 56k modem is the best kind of modem you can get, right... or are you referring to the modem for getting broadband? Cause if you want one of them, the BThomehub works fine.

If he wants to get gigabit speeds then he is most likely going to be using cable or fibre. @Lurick asked what ISP he is using because some ISPs only let you use their modem, and this would also tell us what type of modem he would need.

All a modem is is a device that converts a DSL, Cable, or fibre signal into an ethernet signal that can use by a router.

I have Rogers internet via cable no fiber sadly but 500 / 20

If you're going for gigabit then either the Technicolor TC4400 or the Motorola SB8200, I would call and confirm first though that they are approved for the Rogers network but I know they both can do gigabit.
