Right now circuit city has a free Motorola surfboard cable modem SB5100 after rebates. I don't have that one but I see good things about it at DSLreports. Also the cable guys carry them in the trucks here and use them as test modems.

It does have eithernet on it and also USB I believe.

Don't even consider USB for your broadband modem connection! Ethernet is the only way to go, and it's also compatible with a router.

I totally agree, Ethernet is the only way to go. I hate USB ports so much, i wish I had a ethernet mouse.
