Wow, it is like they are actively sabotaging us. Sigh...

None of that in this area yet - I'm sure it's only a matter of time though.

Hello,

Today another colleague and I discovered the famous 'xfinitywifi'
,'CableWIFi', 'CoxWiFi' and a new one 'XFINITY' on our University campus.
After doing some poking around on campus we found these gems (attached
picture) on 2 utility poles that pass by our east campus.    Standing
underneath it I got a -46 RSSI in both 5 and 2.4Ghz, maybe 75-100 yards away
inside our hockey fieldhouse, through  lots of brick, cinder blocks and
metal, I was still picking the 2.4Ghz at -64.

Looks like the unit is getting power from the coax.


My question is,   I've done a little poking around and have not found
anything substantial to learn more information about this Comcast program.


Any insight would be nice!
