Wow, Amy...that is incredibly helpful. I never thought to go to Comcast's site. I assumed that they would be making it as difficult as possible to used a purchased modem. Thank you so much!

Haha, yeah that is pretty typical of Comcast, since they make everything else so difficult.

The cable companies usually charge you $3 or $4 a month for the modem but you can usually buy one for $25 or $30 on eBay. Who is your provider? If you sign up a promo deal as a "new" customer usually the modem rental fee is waived during that 6 or 12 months.
