First thing I did when I signed up for Xfinity was purchase my own cable modem. Cost under $50, ROI was less than a year at the $5 monthly equipment fee. But the Peace of Mind of not having to worry about public traffic on the device is priceless.

Additionally, I feel keeping the cable modem / router separate is important because my internal network traffic is none of my ISP's business.

They give you unlimited data way cheaper if you have their modem though. I just check every so often to make sure the SSID is off.

It's $25 for Xfi Complete vs $30 for BYOD unlimited. It's not really way cheaper.

$30 + (the cost of the modem) though.
