Ah, I had seen someone mention 4.0 in a Reddit thread and it was 2 years old so I just assumed 4.0 existed by now. Well, at least I won’t waste my time looking for something that doesn’t exist now, so thanks for that.
As far as comcast goes tho, yeah that makes a lot of sense… I really hope my area gets another ISP option soon, there needs to be more competition to stem the price hikes and **bleep**ty service. Like.. I pay $87/mo, you can’t come out and check things and just let me know if I need to upgrade without also charging me $100?? Certainly they can afford 1 freebie a year.

I am semi-rural with not many bundle options here except Comcast. lately the fixed wireless systems, AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile have taken a big bite out of local Comcast for internet only customers. Fiber is not even a gleam in someone's eye and the cable providers have chopped up the pie. None of them have had the need to poach across the dividing lines.
There is a good Xfinity_Comcast sub forum over on Reddit. Success stories do exist there, you just have to wade through the complaints about price increases. It is a good option to avoid the customer support phone line or the on-line chat service. Here is the link to check it out: https://www.reddit.com/r/Comcast_Xfinity/.
