[TriLUG] Avoiding the TWC modem rental fee

[Steve Pinkham]

Yes, I bought that modem and recommend it. Have had zero problems so far.

Transfer was easy, just wired it in, put my laptop on a mobile
connection and gave them the MAC ID over their chat and it was all done
really quickly (much faster then doing it over the phone like I have in
the past).
