Re: New bandwidth plan in Nashville

said by NetFixer:

Actually a residential customer (who by definition has a dynamic IP account) who is migrating to a business class account and wishes to keep the dynamic IP environment can use their own SB6120 or SB6120 standard cable modem

Well correct me if I'm wrong you still have to lease the CPE. I actually dumped the 6120 awhile ago because I was throughput issues during peak hours. Had to go to an 8x4.

I suspect, although I'm not sure, that Comcast uses different channels for business accounts. So I could likely get away with a 4x4.

Anyway, I'm in DC so it won't be an issue until this goes nationwide. At which point I will promptly switch providers if the same cap policy is applied that is in Nashville.

Edit: Oh I just saw "keep." So looks like you can avoid the fee.

FWIW here, nope, it's all the same carriers.
