Question

Comcast modem

Aug 24, 2011 7:25AM PDT

Can I buy a model compatible with Comcast Internet and Digital Phone? I was told the units sold at local stores in Roseville, CA will work only for customers who have Internet by itself, but not for Internet + Phone.

Here's the but -> Comcast will only allow models they have approved. Get the models from them then shop for those.

even if I purchase a modem from a store, Comcast has to connect it and will charge the monthly rental fee too!
