Re:Ask HN: Why and how did Comcast figure out I'm moving? by hindsightbias on Saturday August 22, 2020 @01:45PM (#24245772)
What was your lease period? If you get a note every 12 months, that would explain it.

Most people are auto paid to the end of a billing cycle, idk that comcast gives credit. So moving in before the end of their cycle it should work.

You say you move with your comcast router- if its a rented device, why shouldnt they be able to recognize the MAC address and connect?

I'm breaking the lease and moving out mid-cycle, and I bought the router independently (not rented from Comcast).
