As others I have mentioned, I do not buy new games unless there is a new version of LBP for the kids. I decided once LBP2 became free on Plus and I got it digital instead of using the disc. That works so well I am ok with paying the premium to get a digital version to avoid my kids dealing with swapping discs. Outside of that, I just wait for Gamefly.
If upgrading means you pay Comcast more money, then they don't care if it will improve anything for you.
They want you to get the modem that has a separate wifi channel for this xfinity wifi deal.
themselves.
actually the upgraded modem has wireless built in... no more wireless router needed. Been using it for a year and a half and actually love it. Especially because I wired my PS4 straight into it and because it's the modem too I get open NAT without doing any setting changes.
It is similar to your anti-restaurant soda stance, unless a movie greatly benefits from being shown on the big screen, going to the movies is huge waste of money. In a few months you can rent it for less than $2 (or buy it for around the price of two tickets) and watch it from the comfort of your own home with reasonably priced snacks and beverages.
They need you to replace it because they are running out of IPv4 addresses. The older modems do not support IPv6 and the newer ones do. Also, the newer modems could possibly mean higher speeds at peak hours since they will be Docsis 3.0 instead of 2.0 and likely will be able to bond more downstreams together. There may be extra bandwidth on other downstreams available so that your download speed stays constant. So there are possible benefits to you, but relatively unlikely.
While this is rooted in truth, it is not totally true. If you dont want to help them with wifi for other customers, then you can call and tell them to put your modem in bridged mode and the router functionality is turned off. With it in that mode, you have to have your own router of course.They want you to get the modem that has a separate wifi channel for this xfinity wifi deal.
Basically want you to be a free hotspot for them.
Tell them to go
Also go to best buy and buy your own modem. Leasing is stupid.

I have the 50mbps down plan, works great.
That involves talking to comcast.
You might want to listen to the person that wrote SW for cable modems for 10 years. Just saying...
They're offering to mail it to me, but I just keep ignoring it. If/when this one starts having issues maybe I'll let them know to send me a new one.
I don't feel dumb for getting a great deal on GCU. My membership was going to expire so I got renewed the previous week for $30 and Sunday for $15. If you took the money I've paid for GCU I'm already in a profit from the program.
I didn't even think about that. That would be bad for me. I have my current modem near the wall on the far side of my house then run a 60 foot ethernet cord up and around my wall and back down to where my router is in the middle of my house, so I can hard-wire things behind my TV like my PS4 and my smart TV that doesn't have wifi.
that I'm riding this old modem out til it dies.I thought ALL Xbox users love multiple discs games. Sony never gave us that love.
I hate leasing it but at my old place we had so many issues with routers we were buying and Comcast wouldn't do anything about it.They want you to get the modem that has a separate wifi channel for this xfinity wifi deal.

Nope. I'm good until 2020 now lol. I bought one for $35 after getting that $5 freebie rewards yesterday I bought a $40 LG Tribute phone normally $80 which runs android and I'll give it to my kid to play with. It would be great as an ipod like device or just a media player as well. It can take a 32GB micro sd card. I was actually shocked at how good it was for the money. I didn't even have to activate it, got it working on wifi, downloading some games etc. Woot woot.
I found it much more fun and manageable to figure out what items do on my own in Spelunky. Also Spelunky has a tutorial to give you the basics. Binding definitely could use that, and many of the items are not obvious at all what they do. In the end I'll look them up because I do think the game is fun.
No reason you could not keep the exact same setup. Your router should work just fine behind there's via the LAN connection you have. You could disable their router functionality completely like I mentioned by having it put in bridge mode.I didn't even think about that. That would be bad for me.

If I get this new modem/router combo I'll have to redo my setup, which was already a pain in the ass.
It was more the FUD about the extra wifi SSID that is used for other Comcast customers. Personally, I like that since I can go to a friends house who has Comcast and dont have to worry about getting the wifi password from them.
I wish I could figure out how to set up bridge mode with my FiOS modem. I have a good AC router that I'm using, but it has IP 192.168.2.1 because the FiOS modem is 192.168.1.1. And this seems to cause some issues. I wish I could figure out how to make the FiOS modem just be a modem. I tried to set it up like that but it didn't work.
Oh i thought 2006 was old at this point?
I do work on fiber to the home stuff now, but the ones Verizon uses are more of a proprietary solution and I do not have personal experience with them to know how to set them up. Otherwise, I would try to help out.
The spec is old yes. Modems that were available that complied to the spec that the cable companies had available for consumers is another thing entirely. Comcast really had no desire to start selling them when they first came out. They were more expensive. Once they hit IP address exhaustion, their tune changed.
Which is what I said in my post, comcast has old modems then. Basically comcast is the devil and you should buy your own equipment.
I got to what I assumed was the end of the first night several times last night, but couldn't figure out how to open the giant lock that showed up on the screen. Just got too frantic and time ran out. I'm enjoying it, but havn't made it far at all.
I cant disagree with that, but until Comcast approved the 3.0 modems for a region you could not even buy them retail in that local market. You would be surprised (or maybe not) how much their decision making affects everything including what is on the shelf at Best Buy.
Swipe them with your finger a few times and they'll break.
In my opinion, it's just laziness. It wouldn't take a hell of a lot to add item descriptions, or even tell you how to use them as it would be all text boxes. But they don't feel like doing it, so instead they say it's done to make the game more hardcore, and fanboys will buy into that excuse and trash anyone who questions it.
It actually works better that way.
I usually pre-order my games online for either ship to home or instore pickup. You'll get your $10 certificate around 15 days (usually sooner) after purchase. As long as you pre-order and pick up game/ship to home within a week you'll get your $10 certificate.
I haven't played it yet, but there is this:

Yeah I get blamed by Time Warner everytime I have an issue. They try to tell me I'm degrading the signal in too many spots and that's why I am having problems. And everytime it ends up being something outside the house that's their fault. The last time a guy came out I asked him if I could get a new remote as I was having issues with it. He told me he couldn't do anything unless he could "fix" all the wiring, because if he leaves and anything happens then it's on him. A damn remote control...really? I told him to just worry about getting the signal working properly to the house and let me worry about the 0 problems I'm having inside it.
I don't really have anything against Activision or COD but I kind of can't wait for the day that franchise crashes and burns or at least sells less. I could also be a bit begrudged due to the fact that they've been shitting out awful Spider-Man games as of late. I'd even take a re-done PS1 Spider-Man. I realize games like COD are good for us as a whole but still....
ing lame. Whatever I guess this is a trend I'll have to get used to.
