Re: Why? said by danclan: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. No, they do not. 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. |
