A bit of an aside, but one of the biggest perks of having Comcast as my ISP (I don't love this, but it's the only wired choice I have at my house) is that for roughly 60 percent of my public computing, I connect to an "xfinitywifi" router and get good-enough service.

Xfinity now allows non-Xfinity customers to pay $20/mo for this amazing perk. On one hand, xfinitywifi is fucking everywhere, which makes this immensely useful. On the other hand, it runs off of spare bandwidth from customer gateways...

Usually, but not always. They have outdoor enterprise Hotspot 2.0 AP's all over the place in towns they usually advertise ssid as allcaps XFINITY instead of xfinitywifi.

If you really want complete anonyminitiy you have to layer stuff, and consider something like Mullvad or another VPN that lets you pay in untraceable funds.
