Can I use my own modem with Comcast internet service?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, you can use your own modem with Comcast internet service, provided that it is compatible with their network. Comcast publishes a list of approved modems on their website, which includes specifications to help customers choose the right device. It is essential to ensure that the modem supports the internet speed tier you have subscribed to, as not all modems are capable of handling higher speed plans. When using your own modem, you will need to activate it by following the setup instructions provided by Comcast, which can typically be found on their official website. Keep in mind that if you choose to use your own equipment, you may not have access to the same level of customer support for technical issues that you would with the company’s rental equipment.
