Is Comcast feeding you?

Comcast Sued Over Router Update That Makes Your Wi-Fi Hotspot Public, Ignores Your Opt-Out Preferences | Techdirt

The above story would outrage me if I was a Comcast customer. I recently moved, and is now in need of a cable provider. I'd like to cut the cord, have done it before. And the problem with doing so is the cable company will throttle your speeds if you try to cut. They will give you a deal as a bundle that is too good to pass up.

Now, if you clicked the link above you will see how Comcast has turned customers home routers into wifi hotspots. Usually labeled "xfinityWIFI"
The comcast website says either pay $54.99 a month or its free if I'm a Comcast customer already

Is anyone eating this way, and what are the average download speeds I should be expecting

I usually use them I'm not getting a signal, speeds are shyt but better than nothing in certain cases

Edit: and this is why I always buy my own equipment with these companies

This only works for Comcast customers right? I see these hotspots all the time, but I have LTE mostly everywhere I go so I don't have to hop on them anyway.

You do know that "cutting the cord" and having your service cut off is two different things right?

Nope... Gives you the option of 1hr free, 1 day pass, 1 week, 1 month (54.99). I'm checking my options as I use my phones internet, that's when I discovered this Comcast situation. If they don't throttle my speeds? That's cheap for what I'll do
