I have comcast and currently have a 4mbps cable internet package with them. I called and they have a 6mbps package for the exact same price per month but they said my modem is older and need to upgrade to a new modem to get the faster speed (and they wont' upgrade the package without giving me a new modem). Catch is the modem is rented to me for $3 a month whereas currently I own my own modem which is a Motorola Surfboard.
Is it true that I need a new modem to take advantage of the 6mbps speed or is Comcast just scamming people so they rent their modems?
