they only have some level of control over DOCSIS modem. if you install the cheapest/simplest DOCSIS modem, and connect it to your own wireless access point that is NOT controlled by Comcast - they wont know anything.

They will only see traffic coming from 1 local IP - of your wireless AP

Hmm. Not much of this is true.

They provide a modem / router combination device at even their cheapest tier.

That device can leverage this technology, and the technology isn’t reliant on traffic.

They can gather plenty, and can provide it to third parties without our knowledge or consent.
