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
What if you just use it as a pass through by plugging it into their router and then wrap theirs in foil?
I did have my own router and wifi at the time never wrapped theirs in foil tho… but I suppose why not…
