Then clearly you are leasing it, not owning it. If your ISP allows it, as many do, you could use your own modem, and then it is indeed yours.

Not when you use your own modem

I’m not going to rent Comcast’s modem/access point combo. It sucks.

Out of curiosity, what do you recommend? Last time I went looking the options sucked (though part of that was we still had a landline and that seriously limits your choices)
