For one thing you can easily turn off the "Public Xfinity" WIFI hotspot in your Comcast modem ( How to Turn Xfinity WiFi Home Hotspot On or Off Using Xfinity xFi or My Account - Xfinity Support) and the fact it is YOUR modem dos not mean they don't have control over it (THEY DO since it has an IP address on their network and they have FULL control of it on the WAN side). Having worked 5 years in the NOC of an ISP I can assure you even using your own modem gives you no less privacy. Read your agreements which say it doesn't.. Using their modem saves you what? $180/year? but doesn't do anything else for you other than make you responsible for any compatibility issues with their network.
As far as this crazy pricing they are being charged those folks don't know how to deal with it. I've been a "new subscriber" for over 30 years on every TV/ISP I've ever used, Easy to do.
For all practical purposes FTA disappeared 15-20 years ago with satellite encryption and 9ft dishes. If one likes illegal Firesticks stealing programming that's fine too but just because someone disagrees with what you say is a fact doesn't make it negativity. It's just possible there is another answer or explanation. If you can't take the heat (comments) stay out of the kitchen (web forums).  |
Thank you for that valuable info. I just turned off my public xfinity. It was very simple and easy to do.
