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 $$$.

If you want to install a modem in the Comcast network - whether it is yours or theirs - you have to contact Comcast so that they can verify the connection. When I was renting from Comcast, I would go down every six months or so and get a replacement. I always had to contact Comcast so they could finalize the setup. It is not a plug and play setup. They need to know you are a Comcast customer.

I hope this helps.
