the three word describe my review : small , easy , reliable pretty much sum up this product . this be the second one I be buying -lrb- the first be for my dad 's house -rrb- and now one for my home . its responsive , solid , and back by the market 's lead network manufacturer . not to mention its one of the only modem out there that have the service to back up the price . plus - who want to pay a rental fee with they isp ? lame right ? get the Cisco cm100 couple with the Cisco Linksys Router -lrb- form g w \/ linux os -rrb- and you be look at a flawless system set up to run 2 + year without hiccup .
