   Yeah, Comcast upgraded to DOCSIS 3.0, promising greater speeds. The catch?   
   They'd install a router, on MY NETWORK, that I didn't have the password to and   
   that shared my bandwidth and IP address on their XFINITY_WIFI publicly   
   accessible network. No thanks!   
      
   It took a couple of calls, but any carrier provided equipment can be put into   
   "bridge mode", where it passes on its IP to your equipment.
