Put your cable modem in bridge mode and use your own WiFi.

I used to recommend using your own cable modem as well, but these days you have to use the Xfinity modem to avoid overages if you're in a market with data caps.

Comcast has a stellar network operations unit, but their business operations are creepy and exploitative.

Is their network good, though? They try to keep my data in their network as long as possible affecting latency to certain places, which is significantly worse than what fiber providers in my area do.
