I'm thinking they are stuck with renting the modem. If Comcast will help you hook up your own modem, that surprises me. They would be losing the modem rental fee each month. If you want more than one computer with internet access, then you have to buy your own router. We have wireless, so we didn't have wires running from my computer to the other two PCs in the house.

We don't have Comcast in Montgomery, but after we move down, Comcast may be our only choice in Rio Grande. If someone can confirm that Comcast will help you connect your own modem, please post back here so we all can save some $$$.
