And on top of what you said, the rental fee has been increasing since they started the rental service. Comcast intially charged what, $4/month or something?

In addition to the equipment rental, Mediacom charges an extra fee if you want the wifi turned on. The radios are there, just turned off if you don't pay.

It first appeared on my bill as a "home network" fee 3 months after signing.
