Re: Why? Does comcast charge more for the service if you own your own CBLMDM anymore? They used to in our area so it was like...ok i own it but instead you raised my monthly rate to make the difference....
I hope thats not the case anymore. |

Never heard of that in any market I've been in over the last 12 years... not saying it wasn't that way in your area, just in the abundance of markets I've been involved in, never. |

Comcast charges no more for modem owners than modem leasers. I bought my own modem first in 2001, and replaced it in 2005 (Motorola SURFboards in both cases; SB-4100 in 2001, and SB-5120 in 2005). While both modems are still usable in *other* Comcast areas, only the SB-5120 (which is the modem currently *in battery*) would *cut the ketchup* in D3 areas today. The current prices for the D3-ready SURFboards match those for my SB-5120 when I bought it (and are less than my SB-4100 was at its launch, or when I bought mine, six months later), so it's not exactly a bad buy for those comfortable with buying/self-installing their own modems. |
