For 20 years, I have simply bought an Arris Router from Best Buy and have never paid for rental. I call comcast every 1-2 years and negotiate my internet fee. presently I am at 600 or 900 mbs for $60/month. I fired them for cable and phone and have used an antennae in the attic that gives me 70 HD channels and all the locals and have a Tivo DVR that gives me the best menu and recording capability with skip commercials, and 30% listening with perfect understanding. Cut the Cable!!! Also if you did not want to do Tivo, you could stream you tube tv and get unlimited dvr capability's
