Rogers Cable in Canada uses both the Motorola and the LANCity modems. I have
a LANCity one at home but also run into inconsistent download times from the
same local sites (traceroutes appear identical). Since you can't purchase a
cable modem as of yet Rogers removed the rental charge. You might try the
same angle with your cable company. Here is the press release from Rogers
http://www.rogers.wave.ca/WavePressUpdate072498.html
There are several vendors that product cable modems but virtually all seem
to sell only to the cable companies. One I have found is
http://www.e-tech.com/cab.html which is poised to sell around $300 USD see

I just moved into an area with cable modems last week and had the cable
modem installed the day before I moved in.  The speed has been from a 33.6k
modem dial up, to totally amazing.  I pulled down a 6 meg file in under a
minute, but the next day it took me 20 minutes to pull down a 10 meg file.
The cost with the modem rental is $45 per month, the modem rental is $15.
They will let you buy up to 3 ip addresses for you house for just $7.95 a
month each.

If there were any other choices than the $300 motorola cable modem, I would
buy it and get out of the rental, but so far I haven't found anything.
