I was in the same situation about 2 years ago & wanted to buy my Shaw cable modem, they said the price was $60 but I knew of someone who got theirs for $30 and I got them to do $30.
Apparently the new cable modems are smaller and are Docsys or some type of new technology and might be able to run faster but the old ones (Tarayon) are OK.
Later they replaced the modem for free with same model when I was having line problems. My original modem was probably OK.
I'm paying about $44 including tax, with no cable TV channels.
