Right, call your ISP. They'll make you rent one of their modems, which could arguably be better at a lower initial cost. It could also be worse.

Are there any specific features you want? Do you feel like you're being limited by it in some way? Are you not getting your advertised speed/bandwidth? If the answer to all of these is "no", don't worry about it until it dies.
