The 315 is on the approved modems list. They forgot to put the DCM in the
model number, and the R just means retail. But the 315 is right there under
TCE/RCA. (Thompson Consumer Electronics owns the RCA brand name.)

Whether it will work at any particular outlet depends on whether there are
any filters on the line to specifically block it, or whether there are cheap
splitters or amps that effectively block it.

Given the low cost of cable modems, and the low monthly cost of renting
a modem, why worry about it? Renting has been by far the best option
for me, since the current modem is the 8th since I went to cable
internet service about 6 years ago! Better yet, the modems keep getting
smaller, and better.

On my ISP, you can only get the best service (5Mb), if you own your modem.
If you rent, you're cut back to 3 Mb. The price is the same for both
service levels.

That makes little sense to me - you'd think it would be the reverse if
any difference at all.
