My Charter gets turned on Monday: 15meg/$20/mo. Gave up on AT&T DSL. Picked up a Motorola 5120 DOCSIS 3.0 modem for under $50 and will just cut my entire network over with one cable move. They will try and charge you $50 for "installation, but if you chat with a rep and whine a lot, they will drop it to $35 and then $9.95...

Leasing equipment probably only makes sense if you plan on moving/switching in a year or less. Wireless routers are cheap. if you don't have a server and need uber internal network speed, any 802.11g router is fine unless you get > 50mbit internet.
