Posted January 14, 2016 Are we sure that the person that received this popup wasn't using an older docsis 2.0 modem like this gem that was super popular? Because if they were then that pop-up is most likely valid because you can't get over 38mbps with docsis 2.0. I have Comcast with my own docsis 3.0 modem and have never seen that pop-up.

Posted January 14, 2016 Alright, after reading this, I found out something: This article is incorrect. Comcast is not punishing you if you use a non-Comcast router, they are telling you to upgrade if you use a modem that is not DOCSIS3. In fact, most people should not have this problem because if you're still using DOCSIS2, you're actually throttling yourself. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/40xi9s/want_to_save_money_by_buying_your_own_modem/ these comments While Comcast is scummy, and they are trying to sell you an upgrade, it is not because of a non-Comcast modem. To say otherwise is factually incorrect of the original article (which I'm assuming is Wired). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be true, I can't say 100% that it is or is not (I'm not a comcast customer, thank fucking god), but it's still evidence of them injecting code into your incoming data packets, which is kind of a scummy thing for them to do, regardless of the content of their injections. Still, all aboard the Hate-on-comcast train. Ketchup is better than mustard. GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Posted January 15, 2016 This only works when you're visiting insecure web pages through an insecure channel. If the web page or channel is secure, or if both are, then they cannot inject their content into the webpages. So https everywhere would fix this?
