i may just stay with Comcast and not switch to Verizon.

Any recommendations s on best modem to purchase for 1gb service if i stay with comcast ?- i am renting a Technicolor from Comcast but thinking i should buy one and save $14 per month/$168 year.

I would want to keep the ability to hard wire a desktop PC into the modem - while connecting Orbi to another connecton.

See if CC supports NG's CM1100. I love mine on a 1G service. And you can connect two routers behind it. :smileyvery-happy:

      The CM1000 works as well. Just make sure the ISP supports it officially.
