While clearly this is an interesting development, it will be carefully studied by our Wi-Fi and Cable Committees. Please do not jump to any conclusions

    I have this device in my apt. Range is pretty good. Wifi extends to backyard and front of building across street to bus stop.

    I see the malcontents are trying to whip up another tempest in a teapot with this new device option. Its hard to imagine they have any sort of useful lives, with their continual lawsuits against the residents of C.V. and their continual foul mouthed, demented crap spewing.

    It just combines router and modem. And it still costs me forty bucks a month. And it still doesn't give me campus-wide coverage for a few dollars a month.

    When the Wifi Project is complete, I will lose my forty dollars per month Comcast Internet bill and I will be able to drop my 3G data plan to the bare minimum.

    Easily, a thousand dollars per year savings.

    Hi Don4060,
    June 22, 2014 at 1:59 PM,

    Yes! absolutely correct, also, there are other sources for this multi-function box; so no need for Comcast to extend it's influence in our Village, at great cost.

    This is why I said in the main Post, "don't jump to conclusions"

    The problem is being worked.

    I would want this modem as free rental if they are going let every one use MY modem as a hotspot.

    Don, do you have VOIP phone in that $40/mnth. I enjoy my Ooma, $3.84 per month after the initial purchase $99 ages ago.

    No, I have several VOIP apps that I use when I travel.

    I use an old Roku box for HBO and Amazon pay per view movies. Next month, I will ship my smart TV from NY to Florida.

    Two iPhones, two IPads, two laptops. Digital books, newspapers, magazines, streamed movies, TV and radio. Instant access to court dockets, PAPA, The Weather Channel. My Wife and I are not exactly technophiles, but Wifi has become an expensive and important part of our lives. Forty dollars a month for Internet and a hundred for phones is not going to break us, but cost is not our only concern.

    Building-wide wifi is not enough. Now that we live here year-round, we find that we spend a lot more of our time out of our apartment, but on the property.

    Campus-wide wifi, at significantly lower price, is what we need. Campus-wide wifi will, for example, enable a campus-wide security camera system that could possibly be accessible by all Homeowners. The lobby of my apartment building in Queens had a tenant accessible video system that was installed in the early 1980's. Wouldn't it be nice, finally, to have that amenity available here, at the gates?

    The possibilities are endless.

    So, does this mean that COMCAST will give free modems? I don't want to pay a fee for the modem and pay FPL for the power to run it for COMCAST
