Like you, we have hated cable companies pretty much since we first starting paying for cable TV and internet. Things have gotten marginally better in recent years with some companies, but they still charge insane fees and provide unreliable service as well has pitiful customer service. Since we hate them, it’s only right that they hate us in return and nothing will make them hate us more than sharing this nifty little secret with our readers: you’re paying $120 per year in fees that you don’t have to pay!

All you have to do is get your own cable modem, like the $70 Motorola MB7420 16×4 Cable Modem that’s currently on sale on Amazon for just $58.99.
