    Uh, yeah.  Unless what comcast does has changed drastically, run,
do not walk to your nearest big box electronics store and buy your own
cable modem.

    Renting your cable modem from comcast has similar economics to
renting your phone from AT&T, back when you could do that.  It's a
very high margin service.
