- mbell 8y agoComcast / Xfinity is also a mobile provider: https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/ https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/
- jtuente 8y agoI hadn't realized, well there's the connection at least.
- penagwin 8y agoTo be fair they use Verizon towers for their cellphone service
- mbell 8y agoThey also leverage their 'network' of wifi hotspots (which are just all the home routers they give to cable customers). Either way I imagine they route all the traffic through a gateway on their network so are likely to have just as much opportunity to collect data and/or modify traffic as the tower operator would.
