It's actually cheaper. $0 monthly cost for their modem, and unlimited data for 2 years. Then it goes to $25/month. Unlimited data is $35/month.

In mid-split areas you will be downgraded to 100mbit upload if you move to your modem right now. Plus, they make modem rental + unlimited data the same price as unlimited data... they are fully milking every bit of cash they can get from a customer. They are basically rolling out higher speeds/uploads to a controlled number of modems for the time being. It'll probably be a year or two before you can bring your own on those plans, it's the same thing they did when they first offered gigabit over docsis 3.1.

    I would get a non-Comcast modem plus a router. That's a sure solution.

    There is no turning it off anymore, it's a hidden SSID that
    forever broadcasts. I'm fairly sure it's for techs to do
    diagnostics from the company phone. The modem is in the new 'mid
    split' area, there is a huge thread tracking it on dslreports.

        I've got a Comcast residential Modem that I can't get the RF
        turned off
        in.  I haven't been able to find the right phrase at support
        to get them
        to do it.  So far All that's happened is they've removed the
        SSID's, but
        the RF is still broadcasting.  There are some 'RF cages' on
        Amazon to
        'limit your exposure to WIFI'  But they're marketed as making
        your house
        'healthier'  and reviews say they just slightly weaken the
        signal.

        Is there a way to properly ground out a cage around the modem
        to block
        all the WIFI?  Many moons ago, back in the days of 802.11b, I
        put an AP
        into a lead lined pelican case, and was still able to connect
        to the
        WIFI from outside of it.  I'm guessing I didn't do something
        right back
        then.

        FWIW though, I am getting 2.4gb/s x 230mb/s through the coax
        connection.  There's only a 2.5G interface on the modem.
