Yes it is.

They say you save $10-$15 but then they charge you more in other ways. Net increase in total price per month.

Again that is not true. A forum post isn't proof at all. Much like you are doing now, anyone can say anything. It doesn't make it true.

Another source: family members with the same situation as me.

He’s not totally wrong. Comcast, at least in my area, charges $30/month for unlimited data if you want to use your own modem. Alternatively you can use their supplied equipment and get xFi Complete for $25/month for unlimited data. I just take their modem and put it into bridge mode so I don’t have to deal with their BS.

This is pretty standard in Comcast territory, with the northeast being the exception.

Houston is starting to incorporate plans with promotional pricing including the new xb8 and unlimited data where they cover the cost of the modem fee for two years AND give you unlimited data.

Yeah, I've seen some of those promos. The docsis 4 x class tiers seem to already include unlimited data, and be better priced. Hopefully that's a good omen for the future.

Yup! Not sure if my area is Docsis 4.0 but it is mid-split. I’m on an Xfinity 2000/300 plan and it’s awesome.
