For what it's worth, Comcast screwed up and charged me a modem rental fee the first month, even though I bought my own modem.
If you ask me to prove if I bought it, it's not like I kept the receipt or anything. I bought it a couple of years ago.
I find this argument bogus, anyway. The cable company had to have records of who was leasing and who bought their own. It had to be a line-item in their billing system, no? If nothing else, they had to have records of the modems they were leasing, right?
