Really? How much lower? I have had my own modem so long I never knew this. Not that I would switch to theirs.

- zdragnar 2y agoThis must be new. It's been about 8 years since I've had Xfinity but I always had my own modem and router and got a discount (i.e. didn't have to "rent" the modem). Iirc it was something small like $5 or $15 a month... I really only did it for the better hardware and software.
- SoftTalker 2y agoThis was earlier in the year, we had started hitting the monthly data caps on our plan and getting penalized. I went in and the unlimited plan was about $15 less per month using their modem/router than my own (which I already had), plus the router was free (I'm not paying a monthly equipment "rental" fee). One annoyance was that their router didn't allow spaces in the WiFi password, so I had to reconfigure all my devices. I could set up the router in bridge mode where it acts like a dumb modem and continue to use my own router, but I have not bothered with that.
