Comcast charges a monthly fee for modem rental and if you want your number unlisted.
Do they let you use your own modem if you want?
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am so frustrated by this rash because a) it covers 90% of my body, b) no one can figure out what it is, or anything to stop it and c) it seems to happen every 2 years for no apparent reason.
Ugh, that sounds terrible.

Yeah, but apparently that doesn't stop Comcast from billing you for it anyway according to their help forums.

Ok. That's just evil. Even Time-Warner dropped the fee when I got my own modem.

Don't even get me started on what I went through when I moved and was finally able to quit them.

No need to be sorry, Maria, those were perfect instructions! No joy on the cutting board, but I'll take a picture of what I found prep bowl wise and you can let me know if you want to reject any of it.
Sophia - when I had the bad allergic reaction to food a couple of years ago (exacerbated by pollen) I got itchy hives over my whole body, if it had been just a little milder I expect I could have gotten a rash like you are describing. Have you had an allergy test? Especially considering Claritin helps. If you are in the middle of a reaction/on allergy meds they just do a blood draw and check for, I don't know, antibodies or something. Might be worthwhile, if it turns out to be something you can avoid.
Dear self, the spacebar is not the backspace. WTH? I think I need to eat.

Yeah, getting Comcast to not bill you for services/equipment you don't have is a challenge.

I think if my only option for Internet was Comcast I'd go for a satellite system.

I think my options are Evil or Slow. And I need to have decent internet for when I'm working from home.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I was afraid of that. That is the problem with Comcast vs. ATT.
