    Back in the day when i was forced to use Comcast (xfinity), you would be charged out the ass monthly if you used Comcast’s equipment (modem/router).

    Now… to use Comcast’s highest speed plan, their customers are forced to use their equipment. Don’t worry, no rental fee.

    Now if you understand Comcast like I do… this is a ultragigagigantic red flag. They would never in a trillion billion years ever do something for free when they could charge you.

    I bet right now youre wondering “What is the catch?”. Well Comcast offers a cheap $10 a month internet plan. Sounds great right? Except the people on this plan leech off of the connection of those who pay Comcast their blood money for their highest tier plan using the equipment they force their high speed customers to use. You would be literally paying Comcast to host their other customers internet.

    Capitalism.
