Zero issues here, but I use my own router.

How are you doing this? I called them and they said they don’t have an option for using your own router and not paying the $10 fee.

You can't avoid the fee but you can still use your own router. Just give them the MAC address.

They are still way cheaper than Xfinity and Spectrum at the Gigabit tier, even with the fee - and it's symmetrical with lower latency.

I pay 79.99 for the comcast 1200 down service in NH.

Yes, I had that promo too. Once it ends, the price jumps about $40/mo. Xfinity also charges $15/mo for a modem rental (you can buy your own but that's another cost) and $30/mo for unlimited data beginning 2024. Fidium's advertised prices also already include "Network Care".

I was afraid it was the router. I also didn't know the won router fee which is super annoying. We're planning on moving to another state in a few months so I'll take u/bigspoutwhale867's advice to check the lights on the router to see if it says anything helpful before calling.

Buying a new router for just a few months seems like a pain.
