Does your provider's modem have a firewall? If not, that's enough reason to keep it in my book.

Also, is the modem yours or your provider's? If it's your provider's, I'd keep the router. I prefer having control over things myself, and not being subject to the provider suddenly deciding to pull the modem or change things around.

If you do pull it, store it for later.
