Amazon is offering the ARRIS SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem with 802.11ac 2350Mbps Wi-Fi Router (SBG7400AC2) for $129.96 shipped. Also at Walmart. This is down from its over $180 sale price at Best Buy, though its gone for closer to $160 at Amazon lately. It’s also just $3 above its previous all-time low. If you’re still renting a modem/router from your ISP, this is a great way to save up to $120 per year. That means in just 13 months your new modem will be paid for by your savings from not renting one. Plus, it’s nicer than most of the models that ISPs generally give out, sporting 802.11ac 2350Mbps Wi-Fi. Rated 4.7/5 stars.
If you don’t need the built-in Wi-Fi or higher speeds, opt for NETGEAR’s Docsis 3.0 Cable Modem at $60 shipped on Amazon. This is over 50% off the price of the above ARRIS model, paying to itself in just 6 months of not renting a modem from your ISP. You’ll lose out on Internet speed, here, but only if you get more than 300Mbps from your carrier.
