Does anyone use their own Modem/ Gateway or are you required to rent it from Fidium? Contract ending with comcast in April and want to at least consider supporting the alternative to Comcast.

Looked into applying but stopped when my social security number was required. Not sure why that was needed

You can use your own equipment, not sure if it's still the case but they were using PPPOE instead of DHCP in my area when I first got it so I had to input PPPOE credentials into my router, but they gave me those creds over the phone no questions asked. I think if you're on DHCP you'll still have to call in with the MAC address of your gateway but should be no issue.

Tagging on this, some routers do offer Mac cloning that you could clone the fidium provided Mac address post install!
