I have a $84.99 Zoom Cable Modem (supporting DOCSIS 3.0, the fastest
available in the Atlanta area) from MicroCenter that supports ComCast
and the other Cable SOBs. I've not yet had time to install it.
It does not seem to support phone access.
However, I plan to try:
www.magicjack.com
It's recommended by Clark Howard, the WSB radio consumer guy.
I plan to buy a standalone Magic Jack (no Winbloz needed), available
at MicroCenter. MicroCenter also has slightly cheaper Magic Jack
devices that do require Winbloz.
Does anyone have experience with Magic Jack?
A few years ago I bought my own Motorola Cable modem but it broke within
a year or so. YMMV.
