Is that why the cable companies are always trying to get me to use their equipment now?? God I hate this.

  Plus the DNS spying even after disabling their safety stuff (impossible to change DNS on Comcast Xfinity-provided gateway). Still trying to get as good speeds with my own equipment.

    What’s your equipment and what software does it run? If it’s something on the shelf at Target, Walmart, you may remain disappointed.

      Modem: Definitely closed-source junk. (Suppose all the cable modems will be closed.[1]) Ubiquiti UCI just a little spendy for current setup.

Eying an OpenWrt-compatible one. Looks like the GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (Flint 2) comes with it preinstalled!

        I’ve heard great things about that model. Buy with confidence.
