Xfinity website says unlimited data is not included when using personal equipment. Is this true? Is Xfinity trying to make an additional buck by requiring subscribers to buy their equipment or will we need their Gateway box to have peace of mind? We never heard of this....we are coming from out of state, use Spectrum with our "own" modem/router equipment and never worry about data usage from inside our home.

Thank you for any helpful information.
The Best thing you can do is stay away from Comcast / Xfinity. Here in the Villages your have other choices! Spectrum is way better and does not charge for their modem or you can use your own and data is Unlimited
