Is there an alternative to the Shaw XB6 cable modem for your higher plans (i.e., Gigabit and Internet 600)? We were on Internet 600 with the Shaw XB6 modem and the white noise put out by the fan was not something we could live with. It was in a well ventilated area with no enclosures and we did work with Shaw to try a second unit - same noise.

Is there any alternative to the  Shaw XB6 modem - one without a fan? It got so bad that we recently moved back from Internet 600 to Internet 300 just so that we could use a modem other than the XB6 - the fanless Hitron unit. We would really appreciate an alternative. Please do have a look at your forum and you'll see that others have similar issues with this unit.
