I had (still have) my own modem, but switched to their cheep “prepaid” Xfinity NOW service. Fast enough for my needs but I’m annoyed to learn I can only use the refurbished modem they have given me. No idea if its capable of presence monitoring but Its one of their old ones and I’m sure it already leaks metrics I’d rather not share.
