Anyway, hope to replace rented modem soon. I should call and negotiate for a "special" or something, but I'm not very good at that.
We've have Centurylink for internet going on four years and never had a modem. In the kitchen at the end of the bar, there is a 2 in 1 phone jack like below. One jack is for the telephone and the other jack is for the computer. They call our service 'to the curb', we just plug our computer straight into the jack, or if we want to move the computer around we plug in a router. The router is also necessary for using our smart TV and it works fine.

We also have phone because it's only $59.99 for both, it would of been almost the same without the phone. We get unlimited long distance, caller ID and call block. Our internet is 10 mpbs, I could bump it up to 40 mpbs for another $20, but I don't really need it right now. Netflix and the computer work fine.
