I thought it was more using their router, especially over time. They charge $15/month for the router/modem which doesn’t sound too bad, but is $180/year on a device that retails for $180 or so. And they’ll happily keep charging that, forever - long past when their costs and a reasonable profit have been made.
They also force you to share your cable/wifi connection with other Xfinity users who are near you.
Buying your own router and modem is a much better deal.
- selykg 2y agoI've never been offered a better deal with Comcast/Xfinity for using their modems or hardware. Renting their stuff is $10/mo and a modem is $100, last I bought something like 5 years ago now, for a higher end one that supports gigabit service. So, $100 or pay $10/mo forever, and over the past 5 years that $10 would be $600, or $500 saved by buying my own modem.
