In tcp/ip, every computer on the network has an IP address, and you can use that address to figure out which of all the connected networks that computer is on. In computer networking with the tcp/ip protocol (the one the internet uses), you have small networks linked together by routers to become a large internetwork.ДЄ single network is identified by its use of a single tcp/ip addressing вЂњsubnetвЂќ. I switched to cable the day it became available, in a region where to this day the options are cable or DSL. There might also be regional variations, likely based on whether or not Comcast is a monopoly in your region. (Edit: like I said right ^ there, what fees you do or don't have to pay are dependent on when you started using their service. (Regarding fees: Comcast isn't going to go out of their way to let you know that whatever fees were standard when you signed up years ago might not have anything to do with reality today.) When I asked how I should go about returning their modems, they said 'don't bother'. The modem I'd bought said 'DOCSIS 3.1' on the box I told them about it, they dropped the fee. When they sent the most recent one (a Comcast-branded ARRIS SURFboard) I asked why their modems were necessary: 'they need to be able to handle advanced protocols'. I've ignored the last 3 modem upgrades from them. Until last year Comcast charged a fee for not using their modem that was exactly the same price as the modem rental ($10). and do away with the $5.95/month modem rental fees When the second six months were up and the rate was going to increase, I canceled the account.Д«uy your own $40 modem. I had them refund me the first six months that they couldn't get it working properly. And apparently other people in the neighborhood had been complaining also, but Comcast didn't want to send anyone out. They finally scheduled a tech to come out to take a look at it, after forever and a day of arguing with them, and sure enough, it was a problem on their end at the junction box servicing that street. We could schedule a technician to come out and take a look but if the fault is in your setup or the wiring inside the house then you'll have to pay the home installation fee to program your modem correctly, and also a service charge if the technician determines it is the interior wiring.' Hmm, it shows in our notes here that you set up your cable modem yourself. Installed it and set up my router myself.ДЄnd for the first six months, whenever the internet connection was absolute trash, every time I called to complain about it those bastards would hold my self-install over my head.

I drove out to their office and picked up the damn equipment because even a week after having signed up they couldn't figure out the tracking number that didn't exist for the package they never sent but refused to admit that.

When I first signed up with them I said 'hell no' to the installation charge.
