Over the years I have had enough DOCSIS modems fail and had to be replaced that I finally came to the conclusion it was just as cheap to let Charter own it rather than me. Of course since then the little Cisco modem They installed the last time has soldiered on for two years with out failure. My download speed is 41Mbps and upload 4.84Mbps.
Should I decide to purchase another cable modem other than rent, it will be a Cisco modem. But that is just my personal experience.
