The ONE year teaser rate is $69.99. What it goes up to after the one year, nobody at Comcast would tell me. I didn't bite!

Now, as the OP states, this Gateway can be used as a hotspot by others in your range???
I can not believe the duplicitous tactics used by this sleasy company.

Anyone know what modem to buy so I can get out of the lease?
Just google Comcast approved modems. If you have Comcast phone service you need one with voice capability.
