If it may help, here's what we do.
We have xfinity, internet only, with download speeds up to 200mbps, for a regular monthly cost of $85 (no modem rental)
We have our own wifi cable modem, Arris Surfboard SBG10, currently selling on Amazon for $115.
It was easy to set up but requires a phone call to xfinity as I recall.
We do normal things like web browsing, email etc, but but no gaming on multiple devices.
We use streaming services like netflix, paramount+, Disney, Hulu, Acorn, with no problems.
It is really about your situation. If you're a bit technically inclined (and patient!), you can set this up and even troubleshoot problems if the need arises. If you would rather just pick up the phone and say "come fix this" then perhaps renting the Comcast modem is the way to go.
