“I have to buy a new router. Once that is delivered, I am getting rid of Comcast cable TV.”

How do you do that? Isn’t Net access tied to CATV with Commiecast?

I just got xfinity’s new X7 800Mbps modem/router, but would dump it in a heartbeat if I could avoid Commiecast/xfinity altogether.

You can get internet only from Xfinity/Comcast through the cable coming into your house.
You just eliminate the TV portion that is about another $60-100/month.
That is the only way I can currently get high speed internet at my house in NH. There is no FIOS where I live.

I am paying Xfinity/Comcast to RENT their router for $10/month.
You can buy your own router. The one my son(my IT advisor) told me to buy was $240. So, it would take 2 years to pay it off.
