They recently changed the prices. It’s $30 extra with your own modem or free of you use theirs since they’ll also use it to supply others with free ‘hot spots’ and cellular service.
Comcast has been doing this for over a decade I believe. By default their routers advertise a hotspot exclusive to other Comcast subscribers. Not sure the security behind it since it’s not technically a password just authenticate via your Comcast account. But I agree it is crazy lol I had a similar reaction when I first found out.
How much do they charge you to use their modem?

Uhhh, how does that work? I’m hoping separate passwords!

At least it’s not your own password. Someone with a weak account password might get trouble, hopefully not you,
Yes, it’s a different SSID on an isolated network.
