Randy,
You're spot on. I don't understand this griping. The flip side is that as a(=
n) happy xfinity customer I get to roam in lots of places around the US (and=
maybe even abroad), as do all of the xfinity home customers. This isn't a p=
aid service... It's a byproduct of being a cable customer. I'm happy to pay a=
few pennies a day.=20
The only challenge I see is the issue around wifi congestion. In my DC condo=
building there are a couple of hundred xfinity cable modem customers, mostl=
y with wifi. However, with a little bit of work with the comcast techs, our n=
eighborhood is pretty happy. Tip of the hat to Jason and Mike O'.=20
