Hey TomMac-What I wanted was a cable modem with a telephone port.  I reviewed all 10 of the modems on the website you referenced, and none of them have a telephone port.  Any other ides TomMac or anyone else?

      I am talking about a cable modem with a telephone jack on it.  This will allow me to use the landline that comes wth the Xfinity Triple Play service.  The modem I am renting is a Technicolor brand, but it does not have good ratings on the internet, and I was looking to see if Netgear or any other brands are available with a telephone jack.  Since I already have a routrer, all I want is a modem with the telephone jack.

      Thanks to all for any help!

        Hello AshtonB

         

        Netgear does not have a modem with phone hookup but I know that some cable company's will let you use a modem for phone only and then you can use your own separate modem for internet.
