But since I'm not there I can't check the local stores to see if they have such. Usually you don't get WiFi in a cable modem so that's one more part. That 7 a month may be a good deal as if it fails you don't have to fix it.

Hi I am switching from DSL to Comcast internet.
They charge $7 per month to rent a wireless modem/router.
Can I purchase one from a "big box" retailer that would do the same or better job??
