You don't even have to use their equipment. My provider at home is Charter / Spectrum. I own my own cable modem / router ,they have no equipment in my home. Their privacy policy is pretty standard.

Even if you own your modem, the DOCSIS specs require that it be completely controlled by the MSO, right? Mike
