Comcast actually has a page for that: https://mydeviceinfo.xfinity.com/ https://mydeviceinfo.xfinity.com/ > With modem/router price ranging from $100-200. Renting from Comcast at $120/year it means that you always have a de facto warranty. Something goes wrong with the modem/router call comcast they'll send you one or just drive to the local store and get a new one. There is probably some savings if it all goes well. But then again is it worth my time? How often do you actually think modems fail? No seriously, I'd really like to know the numbers. I bet failure rates are well under 1% annually. So what this amounts to is enabling Comcast to sell fraud. It's not a warranty, you're getting a replacement to fix an issue the modem didn't cause. You can't tell me it's much of a time saver when local stores sell modems or you could order same/next day from Amazon.
