You can find a modem on ebay for cheaper... You just need to be sure it's docsis 3.0 and you will be good.

The reason I recommended the more expensive SB6141 over other DOCSIS 3.0 modems (like the $70 SB6121) is because the SB6141 is capable of 8 channels downstream whereas most DOCSIS 3.0 modems are not.

While any DOCSIS 3.0 modem will exceed the 50mbps speeds of the Cox preferred tier, the SB6141 isn't that much more expensive and would be more future proof with max speeds of 340mbps whereas the others are only capable of 160mbps.
