For Internet access, sure. But ISPs also have value added protection services and this part of an optional content 
filtering service that is integrated into the leased Comcast gateways. Users can turn on things like parental controls, 
including time limit and time-of-day boundaries for certain devices (e.g. cut off kid's game console Internet access at 
midnight on school nights). See https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/using-xfinity-xfi-advanced-security
