BYOM fee? Mf Comcast reduced my bill for bringing in my own modem, what the absolute shit?

Reduced, not eliminated.

It's possible the BYOM fee is cheaper than the rental fee. You saw a decrease of your bill but doesn't mean they didn't charge you a different fee because they doesn't have to list that out, until now.

I don’t believe it’s done any longer for most ISPs but it definitely happened in the past.
