Break Free From Xfinity Fees

Friday, May 9, 2025 11:13 AM

If you're tired of seeing your Comcast bill go up, you’re not alone. Here in Western Mass, Comcast has long been the default internet and TV provider. And with little competition, they’ve made it a habit to nickel-and-dime customers — especially when it comes to renting equipment. Every month you’re charged for your modem, router, and even your TV boxes — gear you don’t own and can’t upgrade.

 

Let’s break down the cost of doing nothing

 

Modem/Router:
Monthly Fees: $15-$25

Annual Cost: $180-$300

 

TV Boxes:

Monthly Fees: ~$9.99

Annual Cost: $120+ Per box

 

If you’ve got internet and two TVs, you could be paying over $500 per year in rental fees alone — and for outdated, underperforming equipment.

 

There’s a Better Way: Own Your Setup

 

At Yes Computers, we believe you should own your tech — not rent it. By switching to your own modem, router, and Apple TV streaming boxes, you’ll:
• Save hundreds every year
• Boost your internet speed and reliability
• Get better control over your home network
• Enjoy a cleaner, smarter TV experience

 

Here’s What We Recommend:


• Motorola MB7621 Modem – Comcast-approved and reliable, around $99
• Eero Mesh Wi-Fi – Simple, user-friendly whole-home Wi-Fi, starting at $99
• For more advanced users Ubiquiti UniFi is our go-to – pro-level performance, coverage, security and control, starting around $199
• Apple TV 4K – Replace your cable box and streaming stick in one go, starting at $139

 

Why We Love Apple TV

 

Apple TV isn’t just a streamer — it’s a full replacement for your cable box with:
• Access your Xfinity Television subscription via the Stream app, along with additional services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live, Netflix and more.
• Seamless integration with iPhone, iPad, and HomeKit
• One remote to rule them all (and no ads when you turn it on)
• No rental fees or hidden charges

 

Want to ditch the cable box, but not sure where to start? That’s where we come in.

You bring the address — we’ll bring the upgrade.

 

Even if you bought it all up front, in most cases it would still cost less than a year of Comcast’s rental fees — and it’s yours for good.
