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.

Sounds like you’re moving into Marion County. Quantum Fiber should be available to you for internet, then you stream your TV. We got a deal with Quantum for $50/mo for the lesser speed and have 14 devices connected, sometimes have 2 TVs playing, our phones use WIFI in the house, and I use my iPad a ton and we have no problems. As a result of us being the “guinea pigs,” 3 of our neighbors/friends have dumped Xfinity and switched to Quantum for the same plan and are very happy.
