RCN Compatible Modems
(September 2024)

Did you know that RCN can charge over $10 a month for the privilege to rent a cable modem from them? That’s well over $100 every year for the average customer! Did you also know that you buy ones of these RCN approved modems for less than $100 on average? Think about it, by buying your own modem, you’ll generally break even in under 1 year, then continue to use that modem for years in the future! For that reason, it’s probably best to spend a bit more and buy a modem with higher supported speed tiers to ensure long term use than to buy a cheaper one and have to buy another one in the future. Here’s all that you need to do to start saving:

Check out and purchase one of these RCN approved modems. Please pay careful attention to Voice and built in WiFi support as each modem has its own unique attributes
