Hi,
I own a Motorola Surfboard 5220 modem (about 1 1/2 years old). I
received a call from my internet provider this morning notifying me
that because this modem is being discontinued by Motorola, it will
soon stop working and I will need to buy or rent a new modem. Does
this sound right? I don't see why a modem would just stop working
because the manufacturer discontinues the model. Any ideas? Thanks!

First, I would call your Internet Provider back, and ask them if this
is true. It does sound kind of fishy that they would tell you that
the modem would stop working. The only thing I can think of is that
your Internet Provider will stop sending a signal to the modem.
