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.

how are they going to regulate that one... anyway that's not my actual point. The xFi gateway is slow on wifi, unless you aren't doing much speed. you can use your own router, and just use the XFI as a modem/bridge as I have in the past. We no longer use them as I require far more than they can provide.
