Every modem rental fee you pay to your ISP is padding for their bottom line, and a total rip-off for you. Fortunately, you can buy your own modem for a relatively small upfront cost, and knock a few bucks off your monthly bill.

Today’s deal is one of the best we’ve seen on a non-refurb, as long as you clip the $7 coupon.
