I have Atlantic Broadband and purchased my own modem, an Arris Surfboard SBG6580, identical to what Atlantic Broadband was renting to me. They are inexpensive, even new on eBay. Seems they are willing to sacrifice the modem rental fee. When you install your own modem, call ABB tech support and ask them to push you the latest update for the modem, or you’ll likely have connection problems.
ABB will not support a DVR other than one you rent from them. Based on my experience trying to do the same, they are not willing to sacrifice that rental fee.
Hope this helps.
