I considered buying my own router to use with my Comcast internet service. The router costs 200 dollars and I pay Comcast 10 dollars per month to rent their router. I concluded that renting the router is a better way to go, primarily because, if my service goes out, and Comcast says the router is defective, they won't do anything to restore my service if I own the router. And, they may be wrong that the router is defective. I could be stuck with no service for a long time. So, I really like having Comcast responsible for repairing their equipment when my service goes out.
