[ale] Xfinity Modem -- lease or buy recoomendations

[Jim Kinney]

I have business class with static IP so mine is leased. That means ANY
problems are their problem. I have my own gear connected to a single
network port on their device. Don't care about the extra $10/mo. They
are pushing to upgrade my service and provide a new gizmo with builtin
wireless which will HAVE to be DISABLED or I wrap the antennae in
double layer insulated foil and ground it.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
