If you have the landline service, you need a modem with a phone line connection, which will cost about $250. Also, the reason some people want to rent the modem is to ensure that, if their service goes down, Xfinity will be responsible to restore the service because Xfinity owns the modem. If your service goes down because of a defective modem that you own, it may be time consuming to restore service.
