Same thing in California. I have the exact same situation going on. We had to unplug our equipment because using our own would effectively mean a 35 dollar cost to use it, because they offer "unlimited internet" (the old non-data capped service that used to be standard) for a discount. So, 15 cable modem rental gives saves you 50 for "unlimited" — you just have to use their gear! The customer benefits! It's crazy making. I do NOT want them to know everything about how we use their service, what devices are connected, usage patterns, etc. But we can't avoid it. We're getting data farmed and we're billed extra if we don't allow it. This bill does nothing to alleviate this situation for customers, and Comcast just announced that this data cap scheme is going to be rolling out across their network.
