Thanks, Jack, for sharing your experience. It really is like playing the lottery and winning; on a rare chance, you may actually interact with a competent employee.

Thanks for the question. Using one of these Gateways. Will I still be able use the Xfinity public wifi hotspot? I sometimes use the hotspot instead of my home network. Yes, Greg, Comcast will allow you access to the public WiFi hotspots if you are an Xfinity Mobile customer or subscribe to Performance Internet or above.
You people are either stupid or just flat lying to me and others. Well answer me this! I am tired of all this run around. Waiting for ASAP response! Sorry, Kenneth, you might be confused.
This site is not Comcast. You should contact Comcast directly or visit a local service center to hopefully help resolve your issue. At least you got about one year of service out of the device, but Comcast will probably tell you to purchase another modem.

I will appreciate your assistance, in directing me.
I am not very tech savvy, I therefore ask that you be as direct as possible, with somewhat simplified information. Thank you so very much! Here is your simplified solution.
