It saved me money and bandwidth.Lelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531159384688653131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-5684247427329469452016-09-06T02:57:22.897-04:002016-09-06T02:57:22.897-04:00Yeah, Comcast did this awhile back to offer wifi s...Yeah, Comcast did this awhile back to offer wifi services to their customers in more places, by using their branded modems/routers as wifi hotspots at customer's homes/businesses. You log into it via your comcast account info. I don't remember if comcast requires your main account info for it but it is a security risk if so. In theory there is enough bandwidth on the local neighborhood node that it won't interfere with your service but... if you're using their unit for your wifi, there is only so much bandwidth available.<br /><br />There is at least one person in my neighborhood offering this with or without their knowledge. I should try it some time for laughs.<br /><br />Anyway, if you are going to have your comcast internet for longer than a year, go buy your own cable modem and return theirs. They started charging $7/month to lease them here 3 years ago. A decent cable modem is $60-100. About the same for a router with wifi.Orrey G.Rantorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02042371544337413366noreply@blogger.com
