"blast" is 50 mbs unless you still have one of the older genration modems. Then you will only get 23-25 mbs....and be paying for blast speeds.

Comcast has offered a new modem that will take the speeds up to 50 if that is what one is paying for.
I do not like their new modem as it has wifi built in. I do not want to give up my existing router and MY PERSONAL, SECURED wifi network.

Comcast customer service said they will disable their built in wifi and the new modem can be used with my existing router.

I am waiting for the new device to be delivered. Then we will see if it can be used as stated.

I really do not have major complaints about Comcast except for there is very little consitency with what their representatives will tell me. Except for that I have no problem with the cable or high speed network or their response to correcting an issue.
