re: xfinitywifi -- the one near me was seen. Probably should have just connected to it and called it a day, heh.
re: "Didn't know Comcast stopped locking MAC addresses" Don't quote me on that. I think what I should have said is that you can now connect a new modem without having to call them up and let them know. But the modem probably still has to "lock" onto whatever's plugged into its Ethernet port. Or not ... don't ask me!
re: new modem --- yeah idk, maybe
re: DNS --- I didn't try it today but have typed in IP addresses I know without success previously. Comcast's DNS here seems fine.
