Will a modem make a difference?

I currently rent my modem from Comcast. It's an RCA. Would buying a better modem make a difference? If so which would you recomend?
Thanks.

That hard to say, I think you need to look at what your ISP has you cap at.If you are close to the cap with good ping then a new modem will do very little.Something you should do is tweak your system . That may do more for you than a new modem.

I'm right up on my caps. I was just curious about how signifigant the role the cable modem plays in performance.

right now the modems are pretty much all ahead of what the isps are giving out, unless ur on OOL.
