I think I've got another modem about to crap out on me and that's the ISP's
problem because I have to use their modem to get internet + phone.
Why do you have to use their modem?
It's the "+ phone".
I don't "have" to use their modem, but I haven't been able to find a modem I can
buy *that will work with their system* to give me internet + phone.
Back before I got the phone service through Time-Warner/Spectrum, I could use my
own modem. Every time their modem fails, I search the internet but so far no joy.
For my broadband, I use one of these modems:

I don't have DSL/ADSL/VDSL. Those are only available in Raleigh through AT&T
(Bellsouth). I'm still feuding with them & I won't have it.
I also have a Netgear 5 port gigabit switch hooked up:
My router is a Netgear ProSAFE FVS318G; VPN Router, Firewall and 8 port gigabit
Ethernet - NOT wi-fi. It's a small business commercial product & I have a
service contract.
It breaks and they send me a new one over-night and an actual technical person
holds my hand over the telephone step-by-step while i get it connected.
