Its a two sided sword. People forget that the wifi hotspots broadcasted from Comcast' modems is day by day giving them more and more coverage; its a COMPLIMENTARY service they themselves are able to use elsewhere (provided they're xfinity customers) when they see the network available. It's a brilliant idea, albeit it is in fact a network broadcasted along side your personal network which can potentially interfere causing intermittent connections and/or slow speeds via WiFi over your personal network. It's all about those pros and cons. Imo, if you shut off your hotspot when it's not causing issues, you don't deserve access to the millions of other hotspots. It ain't -blam!-in welfare folks. Gotta give to receive or you're just a douche. Either way if you're gaming over wifi, odds are you still live with your parents and aren't paying for the Internet access anyways.

  • Do you work for Comcast? I don't use Xfinity hotspots, so I don't care if they are increasing their coverage. I agree though. If you turn off your hotspot, you should not get access to the other "millions" of hotspots, but why are you assuming that people even use the Xfinity hotspots? I don't know anyone who actually makes use of these "millions" of hotspots.

When I did live at home I only played on a wired connection. Now that I live on my own I play over WiFi. What a dumb comment.
