Mostly unsecured. Anything "xfinity" or "CenturyLink" is pretty much wide open. As I said, never never use their device. Plus, save money and get your own!

For some odd reason Comcast has been sending all kinds of oddball packets for the past day or so...I just blocked their IP and was done with it (bootpc/udp protocol).

What can happen to these people, someone with any old AP can create an SSID called "xfinitywif" and park near their home. From there, someone inadvertently connects to the SSID and their identity is summarily stolen, emails hacked and on and on. Not good.
