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.

I tried… Comcast would “forget” the modem 3 times a month and would have to call and read them the MAC address again etc… fuck Comcast
Probably a modem problem honestly. I’ve been on and off comcast a few times and 3 different modems over the years. Only issue I’ve had were when my old ones got too out dated.
Possible that one was too new at the time but they claimed to support it was at the start of docsis 3.1 iirc as I had a similar issue with an older docsis 3.0 first
