That is one reason why I don't rent routers from Comcast (because they do share your internet, too)... I buy my own instead and I save $10 a month as a bonus.
Soon, every connected device in your home will share your internet?
Last I heard, it was $15/mo. Even more reasons not to rent routers from Comcast!
The only downside is that if you use your own equipment, the first thing they will do when you call for tech support is tell you that it is the fault of your equipment.

I would rather buy a second brand new one then pay Comcast an extra $15 per month... and that second router will pay for itself in just a few months. But most of the time, I don't have to do that.
In my experience, there's never been a problem with my equipment. So I've never had to buy a new modem as a result. The annoyance is that this is their go-to excuse, and it's a waste of time to deal with this excuse every time I call in.
It stinks, but they have a monopoly if you want high speed internet, so they can do whatever they want... because the government gave them a monopoly. I wish the Government would create free ultra high speed Internet for all citizens while the Government is printing all this money.

I guess plausible deniability will get easier.
