Look at the quotes from the articles below....
I find it outrageous. It sounds like people have to opt-out. I wonder how clear they are about what is going on? Few people read those notices or probably even understand what it means.... One more reason why I am glad I bought, own, and control my router and cable modem! Comcast rolling out Xfinity public Wi-Fi using customers' routers - Denver Business Journal Quote:

I don't see the problem. It's not like the public is loging into your network. Wouldn't it be nice to have Xfinity wifi @ every pool in The Villages?

I'm all for the Comcast plan.
I have the new router here in Georgia and have not opted out. I only hope one of my TV neighbors has this turned on when I visit my home in TV until the final move so I can get some Internet service for my 1 week stays. |

It's not a public wifi hotspot, it's only for Xfinity subscribers. Brighthouse or Century Link customers can't use it. The wifi hotspot is for all the subscribers benefit and that includes you. Its not just for "other people".
Nobody is going to hijack your router any eaiser than they can now. Xfinity Wifi hotspot is on a completely different network. Last edited by Villager Audio Video; 06-15-2014 at 05:03 PM. |

As I said above, I have the system in Georgia.
No one can see my internal network. The router has two isolated systems, one for the internal network and another for the open WiFi. Here is an article from cnn.com today on the topic: http://money.cnn.com/2014/06/16/tech...html?hpt=hp_t3 Last edited by alanmcdonald; 06-16-2014 at 08:07 AM. Reason: added link to cnn.com article |

The articles also says that you will get a letter six weeks before the "sharing" starts in your area and you can opt out.
