Unfortunately in most areas Comcast operates you are stuck with them if you want cable for TV and inet. So unless you want to go dish, which has its own problems, it’s Comcast. You end making these “deals with the devil” like going to Costco which is owned by Dem hacks or putting up deluded Hollywood fools for entertainment.

Exactly. And there is always DSL. That is why I have my own non-integrated stand alone router. I can switch to DSL fairly quickly once it is hooked up with no impact to my LAN.

The modem/router/telephone integrated boxes provided by Comcast are terrible and have problematic security issues.

Also, I noticed that they monitor my emails and advertise stuff that I just purchased.

Unlikely that it is just me being paranoid because it has happened several times. Could be a coincidence, though.
