The Arris cable modem I am leasing from TWC for cable TV, Internet and my home phone may be replaced very soon as well, but not by my own choice. The company just might do the same thing here in northeastern Ohio as they did in your area, i. e. replace a perfectly good cable modem with an up-to-date one. Whether they will tell me the same thing they told you, i. e. "the modem is no longer supported", I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did.

I am almost to the point where I will purchase my own cable modem from Best Buy. They sell Arris (formerly Motorola) modems for very reasonable prices; if it means I will be able to own my own modem, rather than renting one from TWC and paying those outrageous rental fees, then it will be darn well worth the price of the new one.
