Improving Comcast modem signal

The rentals equal out the cost of a new ARRIS SURFboard SB8200 in about 10 months.  After that, your modem costs are free. In 16 years, I have purchased 4 new modems (always for purposes of updating) and had zero issues.  Figure an average of a year of rental fees to pay off each of the four modems, and the result has been 10 years without the $14/mo fee, a savings of $1,680

People who live in areas that are susceptible to having problems can always add the additional service fee to pay less for visits.  One caveat is that your self-purchased modem needs to be on their current/approved list, i.e., it cannot be outdated.

Good for youse. Risk taking is what life is all about.

If they have a "range" it is not user selectable. You get whatever is on the truck. Shooting yourself is preferable to going to the "store" around here.

Taking theirs off the bill entails that. The last time I went it was locked up with the door sign stating open while I waited in the car watching too many chumps attempting entry. Go away suckers.

The last time I wanted them to send something (cheap ass TV boxes fail often) they wanted me to pay shipping. ?????

It must be cheaper to send a tech out.

@mitch2 I tried Netgear modem with my Comcast system and I could not get my internet to work. So, I had to go back to the Comcast modem. May be the gigabyte capacity of Netgear conflicted with Comcast?

Has anyone noticed a significant improvement with an LPS for the modem?

LPS?
