Buzzkill... no jk. Comcast doesnt either... and i'm limited at exactly 1.5mb/s its not bad but eehhh. I love my home network with 2gb/s!

Ingredients:
One cable modem
One 80mm case fan. (mine has blue LED's
One old 120vac to 5vdc converter. ((mines from an old cordless phone. anything 5v to 12v will work) its the big block thing that plugs into the wall and gets in the way... you know those right?)
Tape
Alligator clips (or if u wanna solder go for it)

Instructions
self explanatory...

check out the pic...
I have the same modem....unfortunately mine is from Comcast as well

is that fan exhausting air out of the modem?

Yup, and the modem is proped up on foam-core so the air can pass through
