No one who has Comcast, who I've forward this to, knew about this (all US customers). Maybe you can send here the notification Comcast sent out, to your customers. -----Original Message----- From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-bounces () nanog org] On Behalf Of Livingood, Jason Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2014 12:55 PM To: Charles Mills; Jeroen van Aart Cc: NANOG list Subject: Re: Comcast thinks it ok to install public wifi in your house On 12/10/14, 9:41 PM, "Charles Mills" <w3yni1 () gmail com<mailto:w3yni1 () gmail com>> wrote: In the US at least you have to authenticate with your Comcast credentials and not like a traditional open wifi where you can just make up an email and accept the terms of service. I also understand that it is a different IP than the subscriber. Based on this the subscriber should be protected from anyone doing anything illegal and causing the SWAT team to pay a visit. You are absolutely correct. Now..they are doing this on your electric bill and taking up space (albeit a small amount of it) in your home. The blog cited is at http://speedify.com/%20blog/comcast-public-hotspot-cost/. As you can see it uses two separate devices; it is not similar to our residential service. Jason
