Concerned.... about what? The quality of a netgear/SMC gateway over the existing Cisco box? Or of Comcast's attitude that they'll buy a customer list but not support what the customers had contracted for? Will THEY support the netgear, handling all the firewall issues? (snicker, snicker) Or are they just offering to replace the box, but you're still on your own to manage it? SBC did the same thing to me, but not even under the guise of buying an ISP. One year they managed my firewall (same situation - I didn't even have the password to the box); next year, I was on my own. Bastards.
