Hi,
I want to switch my pacbell dsl for att cable. They have a special that drops the monthly fee $10/month if you have your own modem and don't need to rent one. They sell a modem themselves for $199. Can I just buy my own generic modem and plug it in? If I can find a modem under $120, it will be worthwhile. This brings me to my 2nd question...any good cable modems out there with built in router and atleast 4 ports? If it doesnt have a router, can i just plug it into the uplink port of my existing switch and share it that way with no other software like ICS?

Thanks
