Comcast turns your Xfinity WiFi into a home motion detector
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’ve changed it since covid so now if you use their modem/router combo, you get unlimited data for free. If you don’t use their modem and router, you have to pay $30/mo to remove the data caps or keep yourself under 1.2TB for the month.
