RE: I'll take that one step further

I on the other hand choose to pay Comcast their $10/mo fee for my multi-purpose combo setup that they replace or upgrade as needed. Mine is a...

...battery backed cable modem, wifi 2.4GHz / 5GHz router, 4-port GigE switch, and 2-port phone jack in one tidy no-clutter box. ;-)

They upgrde my gear whenever there's an upgrade in service that warrants it. My last free upgrade was about 8 months ago along with free upgrade to ~180 Mbps internet.

The cable modem built-in battery backup also keeps the phone service alive during a power outage but I have it on a UPS anyway. Last time I tested (by pulling the plug), I get about 5 hours of internet uptime and 8 hours of phone service uptime... and then I have to switch to my iPhone 5S which I can use as a wifi hotspot via Verizon's 4G LTE data service.

I work from home so my laptop, internet, and phone uptime are important as I need to work even through power outages.
