i bought my own cable modem, installed it, never got around to calling them or returning their modem, and after maybe another month or two, comcast just stopped charging me the rental fee and didn't ask for their modem back.
so... pretty decent on their part.
- medmunds 6y agoThey will charge you for it if you ever cancel service. (And they'll charge the full retail price when it was new, not the current value.) Return their modem, get a receipt, double check the serial number on the receipt matches the equipment you returned, and save that receipt. You may need it if you ever move or drop Comcast in the future.
- sigstoat 6y agowe're about 8 years too late for that. i'll get back to you in 5-10 years to let you know how it goes, but i'm not very concerned.
- mjevans 6y agoOver that period of time you may be able to pay them the current balance sheet value of the exact device they let you on the date your service started. By now it has depreciated entirely. I think I heard about that in a story posted probably the malicious compliance reddit group, and am NOT a lawyer...
