Oct 18, 2005 11:08AM PDT

I have an optimum account which i am currently paying..But i am moving out to a shared house where they already have cable....I called optimum online and they said that if i cancel, i will need to return the webstar modem box. Can i replace it with a good cable modem? which one ?What else do i need? the new cable service is not under my name.
i really need any suggestions asap...

Try checking the ISP website for a list of recommended modems. When you find a prospective modem, Google its model number and your ISP name to see if it works with your ISP and the speed of service you are using.
