Your described option is not the broader reality.
Most people use the hardware that is provided with the service by default. Last time I checked, there's not even an additional rental fee.

I can't believe I'm defending Comcast on the internet but here I am, I guess between them and you I'm siding with the entity currently being less of an ass to me?
Mimicking my speech pattern then trying to say I’m being the ass is not going to hold up, however.
Elsewhere I posted that I used to work in this space and have first-hand knowledge that the majority of people do not use third party modems. That is a fact.
Just because people can go out and purchase a new modem and then additional wifi gear, doesn’t mean that they do or even should to shield themselves from the potential privacy violations happening here.
You edited your comment to delete that, so I'll also retract my calling you an ass.
I agree with basically everything else you said.
Of course, most people won't do this, but that's besides the point.
they typically issue a modem / router combination unit, and they can control the router and its radios.
I used to work in this space, and have first-hand knowledge about the prevalence of third party modems with a sample set of over 100k people. What’s your experience?
