Comcast piggybacked an xfinitywifi hotspot on the Comcast Business router they installed for me.

When I asked Comcast to turn off the hotspot, they told me to disable xfinitywifi using the Comcast Business web-based administration page. However, toggling the options on the page failed to disable their hotspot.

Comcast said that I had discovered a bug, and that as a workaround they could disable the hotspot manually from their end. This also failed to work.

In the end, I had them replace the router with a much older wired-only model.

Seriously had the same experience.
