Just buy your own modem from amazon. You get total control and don't have to pay them to lease your modem/router

Absolutely. I saw the announcement that this was going to happen however long ago that was (2 years?) and I just hopped on Amazon and got my own. Then I saw they upped the prices on modem rentals and chuckled to myself on the timing.

Can you recommend a modem. I would prefer one without wifi or if with wifi, a way to disable it.

I just bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AJHDZSI to use with Comcast. I've only had it for a month but haven't had any issues with it so far.

That's exactly the one I bought. I've never had a moment's issue with it. No WiFi, no IP phone, just power, a coax connection, and an ethernet jack.

Works great, I got a couple extra MB/s in speed tests and save the $10-$20/mo Comcast is charging to borrow their pieces of crap.

You have to hook up a router to it right? It just provides the upstream connection, you could of course hook your computer up to it, but how did you do it?

[blcArmadillo]

Correct, it's just the modem. I then connected a router for WiFi and hardwired connections.
