Thanks for any info...there is an "opt out" option?

I'll type more on this later but I'm under the impression that unless your router is this model or newer it will be a non issue.

All right I'm hoping this does the trick.

Disabling the new public wifi from my router. - Comcast Help and Support Forums

Has ANYONE been able to get the public wifi disabled from your router. On the Email comcast sent it said to disable go to the website or call 1-800-wedontcare and be routed to India 3 hours later and no help. I was even called for their survey while I was still on hold with them! Got to love the "customer guarantee" I hung up after 2 hours and 11 minutes. I guess calling the FCC or Attorney General is an option. Has anyone been successful with this?

Comcast still curious why more people don't support their efforts to acquire Time Warner and undermine Net Neutrality.
