I get a better signal from my neighbor's wifi across the street than I do from my own in another room.

Certainly, the way to go is to buy your own gear rather than rent from Comcast, and make sure you set it up with password protection.

Or use your neighbor's signal, of course :-)
I have my own Motorola modem and Apple wifi router. I get my wifi across the street at my neighbors kitchen just fine.
