[PLUG-TALK] going to go with Xfinity aka comcast

[Rigel Hope]

if you want a modem i have a couple i would be happy to offer for free.
they dont have enough channels to work with the speed i wanted, and comcast
actually started injecting javascript into my web traffic to notify me
about this (only nonsecure traffic, FWIW). i asked them to turn that crap
off, and they did, but i got eventually got a better tp-link modem.

i picked the modems up at the goodwill bins originally. they are free and
clear, license/id wise.
