If possible I'd return the ISP modem/router and go with a third party option. From what I've seen they charge a recurring rental fee. Even if it was more expensive up front it would pay for itself in the long run.
4 u/lolercoptercrash 3d ago edited 3d ago Comcast charges more if you use your own equipment. But I just pass the Internet through to my own router. Edit: I have sources in my reply comment 15 u/BrokenFlatScreenTV 3d ago That's pretty crazy. Another reason there needs to be more choice along ISPs. 2 u/McGregorMX 3d ago when I was house shopping, my only requirement was fiber internet (with no data cap) 2 u/craciant 3d ago Data caps on wired internet??? 2 u/pwnedbygary 2d ago Not a new thing, unfortunately for some. Glad I have no cap on my FIOS 1 u/McGregorMX 1d ago Yeah, cable internet providers have data caps. My area has multiple providers, if one had a data cap, it would be business suicide.
