Regardless of the basic privacy invasion that we all know Comcast is doing. Buy your own cable modem and router. Comcast charges you to use theirs, so they pay for themselves in a couple years.
I tried... Comcast would "forget" the modem 3 times a month and would have to call and read them the MAC address again etc... fuck Comcast
What if you just use it as a pass through by plugging it into their router and then wrap theirs in foil?
I did have my own router and wifi at the time never wrapped theirs in foil tho... but I suppose why not... fear of overheating I suppose
