I only have Comcast for internet service because in 2017 I stopped buying cable tv from anyone (had FIOS at the time I canceled cable tv for good). I supply my own equipment. I'm down to 70 dollars right now. I know. I have been considering getting more Comcast services to lower my fees a bit more, but I am hesitant because of the obvious and the following:
I only got my internet equipment brand new a year ago in March, selected it based on the list supplied by Comcast, and I got what was supposedly top of the line. Figured I would get at least three years out of it! Anyway, imagine my surprise when Comcast told me via email a month ago that my equipment was obsolete. I called and asked them to explain to me how that was true and to send me the list of equipment that is compatible. They couldn't and didn't. They said the email I received was some sort of promotional email, and they removed me from that mailing list?
Did I mention that I hate Comcast?

Yeah, I don't know, it's not so much the equipment I'm worried about. I'm using the same modem I've used for years (at least 7?) and my speed is fine. I don't game or anything but I do stream netflix/whatever but I've never had an issue with speed or reliability (surprisingly). I wouldn't worry about getting the best modem. I think you may only have to worry about it if you need a ton of bandwidth, like you have many household members and/or gamers.
