I needed a static IP so installed Cox Business Cable. It’s $200 to lease the modem, $300 to install, and $120 a month for 1 MB upload and 8 MB download. I thought that was a pricey, so I asked the sales rep. if there was anything special about the modem. She said there was, but actually it is just this . Prices for this modem on Google range from $50 to $78. The installation was two guys coming to my house, unplugging my existing modem, and plugging the new one in.
I think we need some competition in the Irvine area.
