Make no mistake, this is 100% going to be Comcast’s alternative to more expensive surveillance options a la Flock, or workplace presence sensor arrays.

They used to charge you more for unlimited data if you didn’t use their modem. Renting their modem plus getting unlimited data was $30/month, but just getting unlimited data with your own modem was $50/month.
Not relevant any more though, as (at least in my area) they completely removed the data caps.
I’m so glad I have a local ISP that provides 10Gbps for cheaper than Comcast’s 1Gbps.
Haven’t seen that one. Everywhere I’ve been they tack on $5 a month or so to have their router. Last one I bought was $80 2 years ago, so it’s already paid for itself.
Their pricing can differ by region. Not every region got the data caps back when they rolled thay out.
It also depends on competition - if there’s a lot of competition in your area, Comcast will have better deals compared to if you live somewhere where Comcast is the only option.
I used to live in an apartment that had an exclusivity deal with Comcast (residents were only allowed to use Comcast for internet service). Now I live somewhere in the same county where there’s three different fiber providers in addition to Comcast, and their prices here are noticeably cheaper vs the old apartment,
