Are you past the minimum contract length?  I think it's one year for their DSL service.  If it's past that, you could probably cancel your service, then re-subscribe and they'll give you a new modem.  But then you'd be out of service for two or three weeks or however long it would take.

a lot of newer home routers have the "modem" capability.  I bet if you take a look you'll see in there where you can put your authentication info (of course if you are using a router).

16mbit should be available in the seattle area if you do go with comcast though remember you lease the box. You can buy your own and save the extra 5 bucks a month. But if you lease one they will serice it for free which can be a life saver. Just make sure you have the line dedicated for net.
