[Wi-Fi] Xfinity wifi...what does that actually mean?

"XFINITY Internet delivers the fastest in-home Wi-Fi for all rooms on all devices. Get reliably fast speeds with the most coverage in your home-even during peak use periods-so everyone can get online and do more all at the same time."

Does this statement apply only if you rent the modem and/or gateway from Comcast? So what happens if I own my own motorola modem and use an asus wireless router? Does Comcast use QoS at that point and throttle my speeds during peak hours?

It's a sales claim to get you to use and pay for their gateway device.

That is what I have always thought.

What they don't say is that any decent properly configured wireless router you can buy for yourself will do just as well.
