<prompt> Human: Im about to buy internet from a small local company at least, small and local compared to comcast and the like; its one of 2 options in my new locale, and the other one only provides 6Mbps so its not an option.They are offering either to rent me the modem for 2.99 a month, or sell it to me for 27.Its a modern modem as far as I know, and the package Im purchasing is 50Mbps down, 5Mbps up.Is that a good deal, or should I look to buy my own? I have a feeling this is a pretty inexpensive modem, but I dont know if its because its trash quality, or if its because theyre actually not a shit company? Edit: It goes without saying, I think, that Ill buy this one instead of rent it; I just wonder if I shouldnt buy my own 3rd party modem.  <response>: If you are contracted for 1 year, 2.99 per month 36 so...But if you are allowed to give it back whenever you want, test it for 1 month and decide
