<p>As long as it's a standard ADSL2+ modem with PPPoE, it'll work anywhere (with the right settings).</p>
<p>A lot of people out there seem to hate Moto Surfboards. I figure as long as it's what the telco uses, it *should* work. Haven't kept tabs on preferable coax modems, though. As long as it's a true DOCSIS 3 modem with a GigE port for your router, your throughput should be able to max around 160 Mbit down (Charter only offers up to 100 last I checked).</p>

Charter DOCSIS 3:<br>
Close to a year ago I subscribed to Charter Internet only (20Mbps<br>
down/5Mbps up).<br>
I've only used my own modem, though I remember being asked when I<br>
signed up if I had a compatible modem.<br>
<br>
I was watching Slickdeals, picked up a MOTOROLA SBG6580 SURFBOARD<br>
modem by waiting until another store had a sale then price-matching to<br>
Staples. If you don't need the wireless then there's a cheaper model.<br>

DSL gateway:<br>
I've used a Broadxent Briteport 8120 with Covad, which then was bought<br>
by Megapath.<br>
Sometime in there I tried AT&T. I think the Broadxent worked with<br>
AT&T, but I can't remember for sure.<br>
I see Southwest Bell used to use the Broadxent.<br>
I've had a marginal line for years; AT&T didn't do anything to fix it.<br>
I used to have a cron job running that would detect the line getting<br>
problematic and reboot the gateway.<br>
The S/N level of the Charter service is much better than DSL was.<br>
