Cable Modem question / choices

[DPOverLord]

Hey guys,

Seems that Time Warner Cable is now charging an extra $4 a month for a modem "leasing fee" Considering their RCA modem is a POS and breaks down every 1-2 years I figured I could save the money and buy my own.

With that being said could you give me your opinion on the best modem for high speed internet? Keep my dedicated Linkskys wrt-54g with DD-WRT loaded on or should I get the Motorala SBG6580 Cable modem / Router or stay with my Linksys and just buy the cable modem for $20 less (Motorala SB6141)

Do you guys know anything about these? Love for your input!

Thanks!

I personally I have used the SB6141 I like it. Recommended it to some friends and they like it also.

Do you think its better to go for the 6141 or to get the Router/Modem version?
