Apparently they only provision non-mta modems.

Meaning if you have phone you must have on of theirs.

They told me awhile ago that you could use another modem if it had a phone jack, but the person might not have known what they were talking about.

What kind of modem has the jacks anyway?

I been tryin to tell these fools. I bought a motorola SB5100 back in 2003 for like $50 new. I still got that joint to this day.

if I rented, it'd be $5 a month for 10 years. that's $600 in renting over the $50 one time cost.

Yup did the same thing a few years ago when I switched to comcast. Though mine was around $100. I do think it was a different model from yours :wtb:

I been having problems with my wifi. I want to purchase my own wifi router but I have a landline through the Comcast modem. How would I go bout setting this up? How do I turn off wifi on Comcast modem?

Or should I go to Comcast and have them replace my modem?

I'll be moving soon and I have to get Comcast internet.

What do you guys have? Which Modem-Router should I choose:

How easy is the setup?

fukk comcast. I truly hate them. I thought I could get Verizon fios, but nah. I'm stuck with these fukkers.

They will throttle the fukk out of you and monitor your activities.

One of the worst companies in America. It's a constant battle with them.

:pacspit:
