Having heard the stories about Comcast, and Xfinity I figured out the speed we wanted in a modem (about 300 Mbps) and the recommended Xfinity modem. I asked what their rental modem was and the Xfinity person said the rental modems are quite old. So instead of renting I bought the Arris Surfboard AC1600 for $120 at Best Buy and picked it up at Lady Lake. When the Xfinity people arrived, 2 guys in their late twenties, I asked them to set up the internet in such a way that I received a strong enough signal in every room in the house. I said, “Gentlemen, I would like you not to leave until every room and the lanai works.” They said this and that but finally all rooms got fast enough signals before they left the house. So far according to my Ring security cameras it is still working.
